Introduction And Importance: Ovarian fibromas are benign tumours arising from the connective tissue of the ovarian cortex, classified into three pathological subtypes: fibroma, thecoma, and fibrothecoma. Their diagnosis is complicated by their solid nature and potential association with ascites and pleural effusion, resembling Meigs syndrome. Elevated serum CA125 levels can further complicate differentiation from malignant ovarian epithelial tumours.

Purpose: This study aimed to implement lupus anticoagulant (LAC) detection techniques according to the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) recommendations, in the Biological Laboratory of the Maternity and Neonatal Medicine Center (Monastir, Tunisia) and to evaluate the profile and the prevalence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) in the obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome (OAPS).

Methods: We collected two groups: a "case group" (53 women who presented one or more obstetrical criteria of APS) and a "control group." LAC was detected following the four steps recommended by ISTH 2009.

Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) can simulate yolk sac tumor if the location is ovarian. In this case, the morphological distinction between these tumors is often difficult, but immunohistochemistry, the determination of CA125, of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and the response to chemotherapy are particularly useful for solving this differential diagnosis problem. Endometrial and vaginal localization is even rare and appears to be related to distilbene uptake for vaginal localization.
