Brenner tumor

Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia.

Bren·ner tu·mor

(bren'ĕr),

a relatively infrequent benign neoplasm of the ovary, consisting chiefly of fibrous tissue that contains nests of cells resembling transitional type epithelium, as well as glandlike structures that contain mucin; origin is controversial, but it may arise from the Walthard cell rest; ordinarily found incidentally in ovaries removed for other reasons, especially in postmenopausal women.
