An Unusual Presentation of Ovarian Fibroma Originating from an Autoamputated Ovary.

Published: January 2019

We describe an extremely rare case of an unusually presented ovarian fibroma adherent to the sigmoid colon originating from an autoamputated ovary. A 64-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with an abnormal shadow that was approximately 4 cm in diameter in the pelvic cavity detected on abdominal X-ray imaging. Computed tomography demonstrated an irregularly shaped tumor with calcification in the pelvic cavity. Laparoscopy revealed that the tumor was adherent to the surface of the sigmoid colon with a discontinuous shell and empty cavity. The left ovary was lacking, although the left salpinx and right adnexa were in their normal locations. The tumor was carefully resected with cutting of the serosa of the sigmoid colon. The serosal defect was repaired with sutures. Postoperative histopathological diagnosis was old fibroma with calcification. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of extragonadal ovarian tumor originating from an autoamputated ovarian fibroma.

Article Synopsis
  • - This case report describes a rare instance of metastatic signet ring carcinoma in the ovary of a 46-year-old Black African woman, occurring alongside a benign fibroma, highlighting the complexity of ovarian lesions.
  • - The patient experienced significant abdominal swelling and was found to have a large mass in the right ovary, along with signs of metastasis in the lungs and liver, as indicated by imaging and elevated tumor markers (CA 125 and CA 19-9).
  • - Surgical intervention involved a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, revealing a mix of spindle cells and signet ring cells in the ovarian tissues, illustrating the unique histological findings associated with this case.

Ovarian fibromatosis is a rare non-neoplastic condition that causes ovarian enlargement in women, typically around the age of 25. This enlargement is due to the proliferation of the collagen-producing ovarian stroma. On T2-weighted MRI, a key diagnostic feature of ovarian fibromatosis is the 'black garland sign,' characterized by multilobulated very low signal intensity along the ovarian surface.
