Low-grade pelvic masses with spindle cell and fibroblastic proliferation: a case report

BACKGROUND: Abdominal-pelvic masses containing spindle cell and fibroblastic proliferation are very rare. Since scant studies have reported on the pathologic characteristics inherent in this disease, appropriate clinical management is undetermined. CASE PRESENTATION: We report on an 87 year-old woma...

description BACKGROUND: Abdominal-pelvic masses containing spindle cell and fibroblastic proliferation are very rare. Since scant studies have reported on the pathologic characteristics inherent in this disease, appropriate clinical management is undetermined. CASE PRESENTATION: We report on an 87 year-old woman who presented with large abdominal pelvic masses, ascites, ureteral obstruction, and an elevated CA-125 serum level. The patient underwent surgical resection of the lesions and has since done very well. Final pathology revealed a low-grade ovarian tumor with spindle cell and fibroblastic proliferation. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this appears to be the only reported clinical case of a patient with this rare histology.
