title: Ovarian fibromatosis with minor sex cord elements.
abstract: Ovarian fibromatosis is very rare, and the one with focal proliferations of sex cord type elements is extraordinarily rare. A 31-year-old patient developed the bilateral ovarian enlargements and complained of lower abdominal pain, Pathology indicated that these tumors were ovarian fibromatosis with minor sex cord elements. Our two-step operation involved the first right salpingo-oophorectomy for histological examination and the subsequent enucleation of the left ovarian tumor alone. The patient conceived 10 months after operation.
