Ovarian fibroma thecoma with serous cystadenoma-an unusual combination in young patient: a case report

The article is a case report of a 16-year-old patient who came to tertiary care centre in western part of India with a case of ovarian tumor with torsion. The ovarian mass was a composite tumor of ovarian thecoma fibroma and serous cystadenoma. The detection of ovarian mass was made with ultrasonography and CT scan. Her tumor markers were not raised. The patient was managed surgically with ovarian mass removal along with removal of non-salvageable ovary. The present literature has very few cases of ovarian thecoma fibroma with serous cystadenoma and there is no such case occurring at a young age of 16 years. Such a case needs to be kept in mind when dealing with ovarian masses in young age as a solid mass with a cystic tumor may raise a suspicion of malignancy in preliminary evaluation. Also, further evaluation is necessary as to occurrence of such composite tumors and that too in younger age groups.
