Abstract

Female adnexal tumors of probable Wolffian origin (FATPWO) were first reported in 1973 and the disease is a rare clinical entity. They are often found in the leaves of the broad ligament, ovary and paravaginal tissue. We report a 40-year-old woman who presented with both adnexal masses filling the pelvic cavity which were hard and fixed on palpation, and the masses were radiologically diagnosed as both ovarian fibroma-thecomas on the CT scan. The left adnexal mass was surgically excised and pathologically proved to be fibroma, the left adnexal mass was excised and pathologically proved to be FATPWO.

Key Words: Female adnexal tumor of probable Wolffian origin (FATPWO)
