Abstract

Female adnexal tumors of probable Wolffian origin (FATPWO) were first reported in 1973 and the disease is a rare clinical entity. They are often found in the leaves of the broad ligament, ovary and paravaginal tissue. We report a 40-year-old woman who presented with both adnexal masses filling the pelvic cavity which were hard and fixed on palpation, and the masses were radiologically diagnosed as both ovarian fibroma-thecomas on the CT scan. The left adnexal mass was surgically excised and pathologically proved to be fibroma, the left adnexal mass was excised and pathologically proved to be FATPWO.
