Basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS) is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by tumorigeneses such as basal cell carcinomas, jaw cysts, ovarian fibromas, and cardiac fibromas. We present a 24-year-old female with calcified ovarian fibromas associated with BCNS. She had a surgical history of the maxillary cyst and was diagnosed with BCNS due to the cutaneous pits. Magnetic resonance imaging indicated an 8-cm mass and a 4-cm mass, which had been suspected to be a subserosal myoma and a fibroma, respectively. GnRH agonist was preoperatively administered; however, the size of the masses did not change. In laparoscopy, a tumor consisting of 8- and 5-cm masses in the right ovary was identified, and tumorectomy was performed. Because both tumors were extraordinarily rigid and could not be morcellated with scalpels or scissors, we removed them by the Luer Bone Rongeurs with minilaparotomy. The histopathological diagnosis was the ovarian fibromas with marked calcification.

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.
