*Frequently an incidental finding, i.e. oophorectomy was done for another reason.
*May be malignant.
 
===Gross===

===Microscopic===
Features:
*Nests of transitional epithelium with cells that have:<ref name=Ref_PBoD1098>{{Ref PBoD|1098}}</ref>
**A "[[coffee bean nucleus]]".
***Elliptical shape (nucleus).
***Nuclear grooves.<ref name=pathout_brenner>URL: [http://www.pathologyoutlines.com/ovarytumor.html#brennergen http://www.pathologyoutlines.com/ovarytumor.html#brennergen]. Accessed on: 8 February 2011.</ref>
***Distinct nucleoli.
**Moderate-to-abundant gray/pale cytoplasm.
*Dense fibrous stroma around nests.
 
Notes:
*Main DDx of Coffee bean nucleus = [[granulosa cell tumour]].
*Stromal component may be predominant.
 
DDx:
*[[Ovarian fibroma]].
*[[Thecoma]].
