Calcified ovarian fibromas in prepubertal girls.
Ovarian fibromas in prepubertal girls are rare. We describe two girls aged 8 and 11 years with extensively calcified ovarian fibromas. One patient had a single unilateral fibroma with metaplastic bone formation in the calcified area. The other patient had bilateral nodular fibromas suggesting the possibility of naevoid basal-cell carcinoma syndrome although broader manifestations are lacking at present.
