Abstract
We review the time honored but still frequently challenging features of ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors and also emphasize new developments, including unusual morphologic appearances that, despite the relative rarity of many of the tumors, result in a disproportionate number of differential diagnostic problems, variant immunohistochemical profiles, and specific molecular and syndromic associations. These neoplasms are also of historical interest as current knowledge is still based in significant part to the contributions of 2 giants of gynecologic pathology, Dr Robert Meyer and Dr. Robert E. Scully. In part I, we reviewed the pure ovarian stromal tumors. Now, in part II, we present the major clinical, pathologic, and genomic features of pure sex cord and sex cord-stromal tumors.
