Abstract
SARDINAS PONCE, Raysy; HERNANDEZ TORRES, Leonel and PINZA JOJOA, José Miguel. Giant Retroperitoneal Extraovarian Fibrothecoma. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2016, vol.55, n.3, pp. 265-670. ISSN 1561-2945.
Ovarian fibrothecoma is a rare malignancy and its extraovarian location is even rarer. It is generally seen as unilateral solid tumor, of variable size, in premenopausal women. It is mostly benign and it can be functional or not. Currently only three patients have been reported and only one of retroperitoneal location. A case of a patient with giant retroperitoneal extraovarian fibrothecoma is presented in this paper. The patient underwent excision of the lesion showing no intraoperative or postoperative complications.
Keywords : ovarian stromal tumors; extraovarian fibrothecoma; retroperitoneal tumor.
