Clinicopathological appraisal of Brenner tumours of the ovary in Ibadan.

A review of the clinical and pathological features of 31 cases of Brenner tumour of the ovary showed a higher frequency in the postmenopausal age group and larger number of bilateral tumours (13%) than reported hitherto. Most cases of the tumour were incidental findings; cystadenoma of the ovary and uterine leiomyomata were the most frequent lesions with which the Brenner tumours were associated. None of the cases of Brenner tumour was malignant. Presumed hormonal activity could not be morphologically correlated with any of the tumours.
