Ovarian Serous Cystadenofibroma- A Rare Tumour

ABSTRACT

Ovarian cystadenofibroma is a relatively rare benign ovarian tumour that contains both epithelial and fibrous stromal components. It is usually seen during the fourth and fifth decades. This tumour has features of malignancy in ultrasound and may also macroscopically appear as malignant during surgery. Since this tumour has a rare malignant potential, it is well-advised to be aware of the possibility of a cystadenofibroma before selecting an aggressive surgical approach in young patients. Ovarian cystadenofibroma is a relatively rare benign tumour that is seen in women aged 15–65 years.[1] The routine imaging features of this tumour may mimic a malignant neoplasm, but the presence of the fibrous component often gives a specific/characteristic MRI appearance that may help differentiate it from malignant ovarian tumours.[2–5]
