Abstract
|
|
|
Fibromatous tumors of the ovary are considered to originate from specialized ovarian stromal cells and account for approximately 4% of all ovarian neoplasms. Most ovarian fibromatous tumors are benign, but infrequently there are histologically
malignant
appearances.
Malignant fibromatous tumor can be categorized into two separate types of tumors relating to prognosis, cellular fibroma and fibrosarcoma. The cellular fibroma has one to three mitotic counts per 10 high power fields(HPF). Unless an adhesion or
rupture
appears on this tumor, recurrence should not happen after operation. Furthermore, where the mitotic count per 10 HPF is over four, it is classified as a very bad fibrosarcoma case in terms of prognosis.
We have met a case of large ovarian fibrosarcoma which has ten mitotic counts per 10 HPF. We hereby report this case with the brief review of literatures.
