Abstract
Ovarian fibroma accounts for 4% of all ovarian tumors. The mean age of presentation is 48 years. Nearly 10% cases are seen in age less than 30 years. Bilateral fibromas occur in association with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (gorlin syndrome). We report a case of bilateral fibromas in a 22-year-old female patient with ascites without any evidence of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.
