Abstract
Ovarian sex cord stromal tumor (OSCST), sclerosing type, is an extremely rare ovarian tumor. Sex hormone production by OSCST can result in isosexual or heterosexual precocious puberty in younger patients. We present a case of a 7-month-old female infant found to have a sclerosing-type OSCST that presented with vaginal bleeding and very prominent vellus hair at the mons pubis. This represents the youngest patient reported in the literature with this subset of OSCST.
