Brenner tumours are an uncommon subtype of the surface epithelial-stromal tumour group of ovarian neoplasms. The majority are benign, but some can be malignant.[1]

They are most frequently found incidentally on pelvic examination or at laparotomy.[2] Brenner tumours very rarely can occur in other locations, including the testes.[3]
