background: ovarian fibroma is the most common benign solid tumor of the ovary, which is often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. the choice treatment for ovarian fibroma is surgical removal, but discussions for the operative approach, laparoscopic or open, in the literature seem to be scant. case presentation: we presented a unique clinical experience of laparoscopic approach to a case of 1...

Ovarian fibroma is the commonest benign tumor of the ovarian stroma. The cellular subtype accounts for around 10% of ovarian fibromatous tumors. The cellular fibroma is a tumor of uncertain malignant potential that may recur or be associated with peritoneal implants. Usually these are solid tumors, sometimes with small areas of cystic degeneration. This case is reported to highlight an unusual ...

Ovarian fibromas are the most common benign solid ovarian tumors, which preoperative diagnosis often is difficult. Ovarian fibromas, especially in bilateral cases, may be representative of Gorlin syndrome.Gorlin syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with predisposition to basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and other various benign and malignant tumors. To report a case of a young patien...

The clinicopathologic characteristic of mitotically active cellular fibroma is significantly different from the malignant behavior of ovarian fibrosarcoma. Therefore, it's very important to differentiate mitotically active cellular fibroma from ovarian fibrosarcoma. We report a case in which a 39-year-old woman was found with an ovarian tumor measuring 105 × 71 × 47 mm. The tumor ruptured and a...

INTRODUCTION Ovarian fibroma is a rare neoplasm and the one with focal proliferations of sex cord type elements is rarer. Histopathological importance lies in the recognition of this entity due to the diagnostic dilemmas that these tumors can pose. To the best of our knowledge only 9 cases of ovarian fibroma with minor sex cord elements have been documented in world literature till date. CASE...

AIM We review clinical characteristics, diagnostic difficulties, and our experience in the surgical management of ovarian fibromas. METHOD Twenty-three women with the operative diagnosis of an ovarian fibroma managed between January 1995 and August 2004 were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS These patients comprised 1% of all benign ovarian tumors seen over this study period. The median age...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to analyze the clinical characteristics and diagnostic features of ovarian fibromas and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic surgery for ovarian fibromas. METHODS We reviewed the records of 47 consecutive women who underwent laparoscopic or laparotomic surgeries and whose final histopathological diagnoses were ovarian fibroma, cellular fibroma, or fibr...

Several studies have noted benign thecoma‑fibroma tumors with positive F‑18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) accumulation mimicking malignant ovarian tumors following F‑18 FDG positron emission tomography (PET). The present study analyzed four cases with false‑positive F‑18 FDG PET/computed tomography (CT) diagnoses of thecoma‑fibroma tumors as malignant tumors due to F‑18 FDG accumulation, compared wi...
