Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary is a subtype of sex cord stromal tumors which is hormonally inactive, benign and extremely rare. Most of the patients are below 30 years of age. These tumors do not cause an increase in tumor markers levels such as CA-125. In here, we present a 66-year-old postmenopausal woman with acute abdomen, elevated CA-125 level and torsion of sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary.
