Ovarian fibroma is a benign ovarian tumour.
General
- May be a part of:
- Meigs syndrome (mnemonic FAR: fibroma, ascites, right pleural effusion).
- Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), AKA Gorlin syndrome.[1]
- In NBCCS classically - calcified and bilateral.[2]
- Very rarely transform to fibrosarcoma <1%.[3]
Gross
Features:
- Solid white mass, usually well-circumscribed.[4]
Note:
- Thecoma = yellow solid mass.[4]

Microscopic
- 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:
- Thecoma - lipid.
- Leiomyoma - fascicular architecture, rare in the ovary.[8]
- Fibrosarcoma - nuclear atypia, classically herring bone pattern, very rare.
- Metastatic metaplastic carcinoma - nuclear atypia, rare.
- Endometriosis with extensive fibrosis.

IHC
- Inhibin -ve (~75%).[6]

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.
