Abstract
- 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.<br />Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared.<br /> (© BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2022.
