Ovarian fibroma with luteinized thecal cells and minor sex cord element: A rare case report

Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2018 Apr-Jun;61(2):264-267. doi: 10.4103/IJPM.IJPM_446_17.

Abstract

Ovarian fibroma with minor sex cord element (MSCE) is a rare tumor. The increased estrogen production due to the presence of MSCE and/or luteinized thecal cells within fibroma can be a risk factor for endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma.

Keywords: Luteinized thecal cells; minor sex cord element; ovarian fibroma.
