Abstract
- Lipid cell tumors of the ovary are the rarest functional ovarian neoplasm, and malignant variants are unusual. Although rare, due to endocrinological activity, these tumors are of great clinical interest. Recently we experienced a case of lipid cell tumor of the right ovary in 21 years old female, who presented with menometrorrhagia and menorrhagia, and reported it with a brief review of literatures.
