title: Isolated noninfectious granulomas of the ovary.
abstract: Four examples of noninfectious granulomas of the ovary were studied. All four occurred in premenopausal women. One patient had a salpingo-oophorectomy for a symptomatic ovarian mass; the other three examples were incidental findings in hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy specimens. None of the patients had a history of systemic granulomatous disease, nor have any of the patients developed any symptoms on follow-up, which varies from 2 to 7 years.
