Ovarian fibromas are rare tumors that mainly occur in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Symptoms can vary, and in some cases, they may be associated with ascites and pleural effusion, known as Meigs Syndrome. The article presents the case of a 55-year-old patient with a history of hypertension and bronchial asthma, who visit a gynecologist due to pain in the right iliac fossa of three months duration. Various studies were performed, including ultrasound and abdominal and pelvic CT, which reveal the presence of solid bilateral ovarian tumors. The patient undergoes a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and despite it’s characteristics, the histopathological study makes the diagnosis of bilateral ovarian fibroma with no signs of malignancy. The clinical presentation of ovarian fibromas is nonspecific, often leading to confusion with malignant ovarian pathology or other benign uterine or ovarian conditions, representing a challenge for preoperative diagnosis.
