title: Bilateral ovarian fibromas and endometrial adenocarcinoma in a postmenopausal patient with growing uterine myomas.

We report a case of bilateral ovarian fibromas with endometrial adenocarcinoma in a postmenopausal woman who clinically showed symptoms of an estrogen-producing tumour. Clinical and histopathological problems in the pre- and intraoperative diagnostics of fibromas are discussed.
