Abstract.

Ovarian fibromatosis is very rare, and the one with focal proliferations of sex cord type elements is extraordinarily rare. A 31-year-old patient developed the bilateral ovarian enlargements and complained of lower abdominal pain. Pathology indicated that these tumors were ovarian fibromatosis with minor sex cord elements.

The patient conceived 10 months after operation.
