Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2019, Vol 117, Issue 6

Abstract

Ovarian fibroma with minor sex cord elements is rare tumor of benign nature with less than 20 cases reported till date. Our case was a 55yr old female, who presented with dysfunctional uterine bleeding and a solid ovarian mass was diagnosed incidentally on scan. The tumor was histopathologically termed as ovarian fibroma with minor sex cord elements. A knowledge of this entity and careful examination for the sex cord elements in ovarian fibromas and thecomas is needed so that these tumors are not missed or underdiagnosed.
