Lipoma of the ovary: a case report and review of the literature

Lipom, tüm vücutta oldukça sık görülen bir tümördür ancak overde görülme insidansı oldukça nadirdir. İngilizce literatürde az sayıda olgu sunumu tarzında yayınlar mevcuttur. Bu yayında 47 yaşında bir kadında servikal intraepiteliyal lezyon (CIN I) nedeniyle yapılan abdominal histerektomi esnasında rastlantısal olarak saptanmış ovaryan lipom olgusu sunulmuştur.

Overde lipom: olgu sunumu ve literatürün gözden geçirilmesi

Lipomatous ovarian tumors are extremely rare with only a few cases reported in the literature (1-5). Ovary is an unusual location for lipoma and its histogenesis has still been controversial. Almost all reports included some statement regarding the rarity of ovarian lipomas. In the majority these lipomatous tumors are components of benign ovarian teratomas (4). A case of lipoma of the ovary is described and the literature on lipoma of the ovary is briefly reviewed
