Brenner tumors, first described in 1898, are small, unilateral, firm, smooth and solid fibroepithelial ovarian tumors that are generally asymptomatic.^[1]^[2]^[3] The current preferred term for benign Brenner tumors is transitional cell tumors.^[2] The benign, proliferative (low malignant potential), and malignant forms together comprise approximately 2% of ovarian tumors.^[1]^[2] These tumors usually occur in women ages 40 to 60 years.^[2] Management is operative.^[2]^[3] When confined to the ovary, these tumors carry a good-to-excellent prognosis, depending on the malignancy status.^[1]
