Abstract

*Akpor I. O., Vhriterhire R. A., Ojo B. A., Nyaga T., Terkula D. G. and Agwa M.
ABSTRACT
Ovarian fibroma is the most common sex-cord-stromal tumour of the ovary, with peak incidence occurring in the fourth decade of life. It may occasionally be a component of one of two syndromes, the Meig syndrome and Gorlin-Goltz syndrome. Recurrence is encountered in some cases, but a good number of those reviewed in this work did not come up with any known recurrence of the neoplasm understudied. Therefore, surgery is curative in managing most cases of fibromas of the ovary, even though the cellular fibroma may recur or form peritoneal implants at times. The report of an isolated ovarian fibroma in a middle aged woman without syndromic association has been presented in this material on account of its quite alarming gross size, yet benign histological nature, following an initial impression of suspected malignancy. Marked improvement of the symptoms after surgical intervention was affirmed by the patient on follow up visits.
