Anatomo-clinical considerations on the ovarian fibroma
The Authors analysed from an anatomo-clinical point of view, 17 cases of ovarian fibroma, observed during the period between 1968 and 1992. The incidence of ovarian fibroma in this study was 2.52% and it affected women in different age groups, though with greater frequency those above 50 years. Even the symptomatology was variable and was characterized by pain in the hypogastric quadrant (47.1%); alteration of the menstrual cycle (17.6%); metrorrhagic episodes (17.6%); sterility (5.9%). Due to the fact that the ovarian fibroma can appear at any age, this suggests different surgical approaches according to age, general conditions of the patient and fertility.
