Postmenopausal Massive Calcified Ovarian Fibroma – A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Ovarian fibroma is the most common benign solid tumors of the ovary, commonly misdiagnosed as uterine fibroma or as malignant ovarian tumors. It occurs generally in older perimenopausal women. Large fibromas may undergo torsion causing acute abdominal pain. Doppler ultrasonography imaging is the choice study. CT and MRI are often needed for further characterization and differentiation from other solid ovarian masses. The choice of treatment is surgical removal with intraoperative frozen section. Immuno-histochemical analysis is recommended to rule out the differential diagnosis. Here we present a case of a postmenopausal woman with a large ovarian fibroma reflecting diagnostic difficulties including potential misdiagnosis of the tumor as a malignant ovarian neoplasm that may influence the surgical approach.
