|Prompt=A 52 year old woman presents to her gynecologist for her annual check-up. During pelvic examination, the physician palpates a mobile mass on the left side only. Her physical examination is otherwise normal. Ultrasound shows a 7x5 cm well-defined lobulated left-sided ovarian tumor. Laparotomy is performed and the tumor is resected. Grossly, the tumor appears as a well-circumscribed encapsulated yellow-tan solid mass. On pathology, epithelial ovoid nest cells with longitudinal grooves that resemble coffee beans are found (shown below). What is the most likely diagnosis?
|Prompt=A 52-year-old female presents to her gynecologist for her annual check-up. Upon pelvic examination, the physician palpates a mobile mass on the left ovary. Ultrasound displays a well-defined, 7x5 cm, lobulated left-sided ovarian tumor. Laparotomy is performed and the tumor is resected. The tumor is observed to be a well-circumscribed, encapsulated, yellow-tan solid mass. On pathology, epithelial ovoid nest cells with longitudinal grooves, resembling coffee beans, are observed (shown below). Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis for this patient?

|Explanation=The patient is most likely diagnosed with Brenner tumor, an ovarian non-germ cell tumor characterized by the presence of a solid well-circumscribed encapsulated pale yellow-tan colored tumor that shows epithelial ovoid nest cells with longitudinal grooving (coffee beans) on pathology. Brenner tumor is not a common diagnosis. It usually presents as an incidental finding during physical exam, ultrasound, or laparotomy. Other patients might complain of persistent abdominal discomfort of several months duration. Postmenopausal women are more likely to have Brenner tumor. Most tumors are benign and unilateral, with less than 10% being malignant.
