Ovarian fibroma
Diagnosis in short

Ovarian fibroma. H&E stain.

LM

spindle cells with a central nucleus and no nuclear atypia;

patternless pattern (not fascicular, not herring bone), +/-calcification
LM DDx thecoma, leiomyoma, fibrosarcoma, metastatic metaplastic carcinoma, endometriosis with fibrosis
IHC inhibin -ve
Gross solid white mass, usu. well-circumscribed
Site ovary - see ovarian tumours

Syndromes Meigs syndrome, nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (esp. if calcified)

Prevalence uncommon
Prognosis benign
Clin. DDx other ovarian tumours - esp. solid ones

Ovarian fibroma is a benign ovarian tumour.

General

Gross

Features:

  • Solid white mass, usually well-circumscribed.[4]

Note:

  • Thecoma = yellow solid mass.[4]

Images

Microscopic

Features:[5][6]

  • Spindle cells with central nucleus and no nuclear atypia.
  • Patternless pattern (AKA storiform pattern) - not fascicular, not herring bone.
  • Stainable lipid - minimal or none.[6]

Notes:

  • May be cellular.
  • Mitotic activity minimal.[7]

DDx:

IHC

  • Inhibin -ve (~75%).[6]

Sign out

 OVARIAN MASS ("FIBROMA"), LEFT, EXCISION:
- FIBROMA.
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.

Micro

The sections show spindle cells in a patternless pattern. There is no appreciable nuclear atypia. No mitotic activity is apparent. No necrosis is identified. No calcifications are seen. A small amount of benign ovarian parenchyma is present at the edge of the lesion.
