Abstract

BRAUN, Marco Antonio Alves; DUARTE, Márcio Luís; SANTOS, Lucas Ribeiro dos  and  SILVA, Marcelo de Queiroz Pereira da. Ovarian Fibromathosis - A Rare Bilateral Disorder. Acta Radiol Port [online]. 2021, vol.33, n.2, pp.31-32.  Epub Aug 31, 2021. ISSN 2183-1351.  https://doi.org/10.25748/arp.24147.

Ovarian fibromathosis is a benign rare disorder that affects young women and is characterized microscopically by spindle cell proliferation and abundant collagen matrix. It may present similar clinical and radiological findings as other neoplasms. The clinical presentation may include abdominal pain, menstrual irregularity and possibly hirsutism and virilization. Magnetic resonance will show a hypointense signal on T1 and T2 weighted images and the black wreath sign. Once the diagnosis is established, conservative treatment with the objective of preserving fertility and ovarian function should be preferred.
