Brenner Tumor

Synonyms/Description

Transitional cell tumor of the ovary

Typically asymptomatic, rare, benign ovarian tumor

Etiology

These tumors account for approximately 3.2% of ovarian epithelial neoplasms and typically occur in the fourth to sixth decades of life. They belong to the combined surface epithelial-stromal group of tumors, although they have been described as having similar histologic appearance to transitional cell tumors of the urothelium.
