Presence of fibrothecoma is not usually accompanied by elevated levels of tumor markers. In recent years, however, there have been isolated reports of fibrothecoma and Meigs' syndrome, accompanied by an increase in tumor markers. We present a case of fibrothecoma with Meigs' syndrome and elevated levels of both CA-125 (cancer antigen 125) and HE-4 (human epididymis protein 4). In this paper, we...

The term collision tumor refers to the coexistence of two adjacent but histological distinct tumors with no histological admixture at the interface. Collision tumors involving ovaries are extremely rare. A collision tumor composed of a dermoid cyst and fibrothecoma is extremely rare in menopausal women. The mechanism of the development of collision tumor is uncertain. During clinical evaluation...

Radiation-related changes including fibrosis, nuclear enlargement, hyperchromasia and cytoplasmic vacuolization may alter the appearance of normal ovarian tissue and ovarian tumors. We describe radiation-related changes in ovarian stromal neoplasm with mixed features of sclerosing stromal tumor and fibrothecoma. The right ovarian mass was discovered in a 38 year-old woman with past history of i...

Ovarian fibrothecoma is a relatively new term that is used to describe an ovarian sex cord stromal tumour that has mixed features of both fibroma and thecoma. The prevalence of ovarian fibrothecoma tumours is very rare and is reported to be about 1.2% of all ovarian tumours. We report a case of a 32-year-old woman who presented with acute menorrhagia with no previous medical, surgical or gyneco...

Background. Fibrothecomas are benign sex cord-stromal tumors which rarely originate outside of the ovary. To date, two such cases have been reported in the literature. We report the third case of an extraovarian fibrothecoma and the first presenting similarly to a metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer. Clinical History. We describe a 62-year-old woman with history, physical examination, and imag...

Fibrothecoma accounts for 3-4% of all ovarian neoplasms; it is usually hormonally inactive, but can be estrogenic or sometimes androgenic (11%); it is rare under 30 years. In a very few cases, minor sex cord elements (less than 10% of the tumor area) are present; therefore, it is considered as a separate subgroup of stromal tumors. The importance of immunohistochemistry in recognizing this kind...

Fibrothecomas are sex-cord stromal tumors that have histologic appearances intermediate between fibromas and thecomas. The exact incidence of fibrothecoma is unknown, although they have been described as rare ovarian neoplasms. A 69 year old post menopausal female was presented with a huge left ovarian mass (17x15x8 cm). Intraoperative scrape smears were prepared from the ovarian mass. Smears s...

Aim: Ovarian fibroma, fibrothecoma and thecoma are benign neoplasia of the ovary. The aim this study is to analyze clinical characteristics, histopathological results surgical management ovarian fibroma/fibrothecoma.Materials Methods: This a retrospective 51 cases who underwent treatment because adnexial mass. reported as fibroma/fibrothecomas were analyzed.Results: mean age patients 58.7 years...
