Bilateral calcified ovarian fibromas in a patient with Sotos syndrome.
OBJECTIVE
To present a case of bilateral calcified ovarian fibromas in Sotos syndrome (cerebral gigantism).


METHODS
Descriptive case study.


METHODS
Mackay Memorial Hospital.


METHODS
A 26-year-old woman with Sotos syndrome and bilateral solid adnexal masses on gynecologic ultrasound.


METHODS
Surgical removal of an 8 x 6 x 6 cm left ovarian fibroma and a 3 x 2 x 2 cm right ovarian fibroma.


METHODS
Ultrasound.


RESULTS
Histopathologic examination revealed bilateral ovarian fibromas with extensive foci of calcification and occasional ossification.


CONCLUSIONS
The presence of bilateral calcified ovarian fibromas in this patient with Sotos syndrome may reflect the effects of overgrowth in Sotos syndrome on ovarian tumorigenesis or may be a coincidence.
