[Brenner tumor. Report of a case and experience at the Spanish Hospital in Mexico].

Abstract

Brenner tumor is a solid benign tumor of the ovary, with its origin in the parammesonephric celomic epithelium and represents about the 0.5 an the 0.79% of all ovarian tumors. We present a case of a woman in which we found a Brenner Tumor in the left ovary while we were performing an abdominal total hysterectomy. As a consequence we reviewed the experience in the Hospital Español de México in the last 10 years. We concluded that we have the same frequency of presentation that in other parts of the world. None of our cases were malignant.
