# Ovarian fibrothecoma in a 15-year-old girl: A rare case report

## TL;DR

A 15-year-old girl was diagnosed with a rare benign ovarian tumor called fibrothecoma, which can be difficult to distinguish from malignant tumors in younger patients.

## Contribution

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges of fibrothecomas in adolescents and emphasizes the need for accurate imaging and multidisciplinary approaches.

## Key findings

- Fibrothecomas in adolescents can mimic malignant tumors on imaging.
- MRI, surgery, and pathology confirmed the benign nature of the tumor in this case.
- Accurate diagnosis requires a multidisciplinary approach in young patients.

## Abstract

Ovarian fibrothecomas are rare benign tumors typically found in middle-aged women. This report presents a case of a 15-year-old girl with an irregular menstrual cycle and a left lateral uterine mass, ultimately diagnosed as an ovarian fibrothecoma. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by fibrothecomas in younger patients, as they may mimic malignant ovarian tumors on imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, surgical intervention, and pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. This case emphasizes the importance of accurate imaging and multidisciplinary approaches in managing such ovarian masses in adolescents.
