Brenner's tumour of the ovary is a rare diagnosis that is usually incidental in either clinical finding or laparotomy. Pathologically, it can be classified as being an uncommon surface epithelial tumour. Originally known as a transitional cell tumour due to its histological similarity to the urothelium, Brenner is usually an unilateral and benign tumour. The site of incidence is predominantly the ovary and can very rarely occur in other locations including the testis. The following is a case of Brenner's tumour of the ovary in a postmenopausal woman after surgical treatment, the features of which will be discussed briefly.
卵巢 Brenner 瘤是一种罕见的诊断,通常在临床发现或剖腹术中偶然发现。从病理学上看,它可以归类为一种不常见的表面上皮肿瘤。由于其组织学上与尿路上皮相似,最初被称为移行细胞肿瘤,Brenner 通常是单侧良性肿瘤。发病部位主要在卵巢,极少数情况下也可发生在其他部位,包括睾丸。以下是一例绝经后妇女卵巢 Brenner 瘤的病例,简要讨论其特征。
