Abstract:
Xanthogranulomatous oophoritis is uncommon forms of chronic granulomatous inflammation in the female genital tract. It is characterized by the presence of foamy histiocytes with admixed lymphocytes, plasma cells, and neutrophils. We describe a case of xanthogranulomatous oophoritis in a 75-year-old woman, which was misdiagnosed as uterine sarcoma preoperatively.
