  • The study focuses on mitotically active cellular fibroma (MACF) of the ovary, detailing its clinical, radiological, and pathological characteristics through the analysis of 11 cases between 2015 and 2022.
  • The median patient age was 53.7 years, with most presenting symptoms being abdominal pain; tumor sizes varied, and preoperative imaging often misidentified the tumors.
  • Results indicate that MACF generally has a benign outcome, and fertility-sparing surgical options are effective, with no disease relapses observed during follow-up, highlighting the importance of intraoperative frozen section for accurate diagnosis.
