Ovarian fibroma. A report of three cases.

The authors report three cases of ovarian fibroma in women in advanced menopause (mean age: 70 years). The neoplasm was bilateral in one patient. Early symptoms were pelvic pain, and, in one patient, menorrhagia without histologic alterations of the atrophic endometrium. The histology was typical of ovarian fibromas, except for one case which was characterized by a dense pseudofibrosarcomatous pattern and by the presence of numerous sex cord elements.
