Ovarian leiomyoma. Case report.
We describe a case of primary ovarian leiomyoma in a 16 year old patient; both ovaries were affected. Since at intervention normal tissue was found, the left ovary was preserved and a 30-months follow-up was carried out. Tumour markers (CA-125; alpha-fetoprotein; CEA and beta-HCG) were tested. Such a case has not previously been reported. Etiopathogenesis is also discussed.
