Core Tip	Ovarian sclerosing stromal tumor (OSSTs) are found most commonly in females at 20-30 years of age. OSST is a rare tumor and is even rarer during puberty or menopause. We report a case of a 14-year-old female who had not yet reached menarche. After thorough examination at our clinic, a pelvic mass was discovered. The patient underwent surgery and reached menarche. Immunohistochemical analysis of the resected specimen provided definitive diagnosis of an OSST. This case highlights the importance of a thorough examination and pathological analysis to properly diagnose and treat patients with OSST.
