title: Bilateral calcified ovarian fibromas in a patient with Sotos syndrome.
abstract: 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.
