Abstract
-
Ovarian leiomyoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor, accounting for only 1% of all benign ovarian neoplasm. Most patients are asymptomatic and the tumors are usually found incidentally during operation or at autopsies. Ovarian adenofibroma is a rare benign tumor which originates from the germinal lining and the stroma of the ovary. This tumor may be solid, semisolid or cystic, depending on the relative amount of the epithelial and stromal component. We have experienced a case of ovarian leiomyoma accompanied with ovarian serous adenofibroma in a 42-year-old woman and report this case with a brief review of literature.
