Tumors that resemble sex cord cells are rare neoplasms with non-specific clinical presentation that poses a challenge to diagnosis. A case report is presented of a 49-year-old patient who presented with abnormal uterine bleeding and pelvic pain with diagnosis of uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors (UTROSCT). The objective of this study is to contribute to medical knowledge of a rare pathology. A case report was carried out under the CARE guidelines with a review of the literature. As conclusion, the diagnosis and treatment of UTROSCT does not have standardized guidelines; however, what is described in the literature proposes the surgical approach as a fundamental pillar of treatment.
