Aim: Ovarian fibroma, fibrothecoma and thecoma are benign neoplasia of the ovary. The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical characteristics, histopathological results and surgical management of ovarian fibroma/fibrothecoma. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of 51 cases who underwent surgical treatment because of adnexial mass. The cases reported as ovarian fibroma/fibrothecomas were analyzed. Results: The mean age of patients were 58.7 years old. The avarage diameter of tumours was 8.23 cm. The final pathological results were fibroma, fibrothecoma, celluler mitotic fibroma, respectively 45.2%, 35.3%, 13.7%. Ascite was viewed in 6 (11.7%) cases. Ca-125 levels were high in 12 cases (23.5%). 11(21.6%) patients underwent laparoscopy and 40 (78.4%) underwent laparotomy. Conclusion: Ovarian fibroma/fibrothecomas are rarely, benign solid tumors. They can be mistaken as myoma or malignancy because of the apperance of tumor with high level Ca-125. These tumors can be treated succesfully by laparoscopy or laparotomy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
