Abstract:
Fibrosarcoma of the ovary is an exceedingly rare primary ovarian stromal tumor, which has a poor prognosis. Fibrosarcoma may arise de novo or as a result of malignant change in a benign fibromatous or fibrothecomatous tumor of the ovary. There are only about 30 cases in the literature reported within past three decades, showing the extreme rarity of these tumors. We report a case of primary ovarian fibrosarcoma with a review of the available literature.
