Surgical Treatment of a Rare Case of Ovarian Fibroma Associated With Elevated CA125 Levels in a Patient of Reproductive Age: A Case Report.

Small ovarian fibromas (< 10cm) associated with elevated serum CA125 levels are rarely encountered, particularly in women of reproductive age. We report a rare case diagnosed in a 35-year-old patient after adnexectomy for a solid ovarian mass of approximately 5cm in maximum diameter, accompanied by elevated serum CA125 levels. In preoperative evaluation, no signs of inflammation from the genital tract were found, and no medical history of endometriosis, uterine leiomyomas, or non-gynecological cancer was reported. Intraoperative frozen section biopsy of surgical specimen obtained from the ovarian tumor had negative evaluation for malignancy. Histological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of ovarian fibroma. The postoperative course was uneventful. Two months after surgery, the blood serum CA125 levels were within normal ranges. The patient is assessed at regular intervals in the gynecology outpatient clinic. In this paper, based on the data of the modern literature, a brief review of this rare nosological entity is made.
