Female adnexal tumors of probable Wolffian origin (FATWOs) are extremely rare tumors, with only around 100 cases published worldwide. FATWOs are most frequently found in the broad ligament, but these can also appear in the mesosalpinx, Fallopian tube, ovary, paravaginal region or peritoneum. We present a case of a 68-year-old female with a history of painless abdominal distension and frequent urination, with palpable big abdominal mass.

Context: Female adnexal tumors of probable Wolffian origin (FATWO) represent very rare borderline ovarian tumors with low malignant potential. Only 15 cases of malignant FATWO are described in the current literature, among which, only 5 are reported as being recurrent.
Objective: Due to the rare presentation of the recurrence of the malignant FATWO and the few cases reported in the scientific database, there are no clear therapy recommendations.

Female adnexal tumor of probable Wolffian origin (FATWO) are a rare type of cancer that originates from Wolffian duct remnants. Due to its rarity, no standard systemic treatment is established for cases of recurrent or metastatic disease. Previous literature reported the use of platinum-based chemotherapy and c-Kit tyrosine kinase inhibitors for FATWO cases with c-Kit positive expression.
