ABSTRACT
Brenner tumor is a rare tumor that represents approximately 1,5 %
of the tumors of ovary. It is defined as a tumor of transitional cells
composed by urothelial cells arranged in solid or cystic groups absorbed
in a fibrous stroma. It classifies in benign Brenner tumor (95
%), borderline (3-4%) and malignant (1%). Let’s sense beforehand the
clinical case of a 46-year-old patient who underwent surgery having an
adnexal mass of which the pathological intraoperative report brought
a benign Brenner tumor.
