What does HPV mean for the postmenopausal woman?

Ovarian Fibrothecoma are uncommon tumors of gonadal stromal cell origin accounting for 3-4% of all ovarian tumours. Ovarian fibrothecoma are composed of an admixture of fibrous and the comatous elements. The stromal cell tumors are probably the most inaccurately diagnosed tumor of the female gonad, clinically and histologically. Rarely benign tumours can present with elevated CA125. Here we discuss a rare presentation of Ovarian Fibrothecoma in a 52 years postmenopausal woman with large pelvic mass with ascites and elevated CA125 which we mistook for malignancy. Hence accurate diagnosis is more important before extensive surgical intervention.

Paraurethral Leiomyoma

Leiomyomas are benign tumors extending from smooth muscle cells and only few cases of paraurethral leiomyomas have been described in the literature. They are often seen in the reproductive age and around 50% of the cases are asymptomatic. We describe a 59-year-old woman with a solid mobile tumor below the symphysis revealed at a gynecological examination. Transvaginal ultrasound and MRI confirmed the tumor and excision of the paraurethral tumor was carried out. The histological examination showed a benign paraurethral leiomyoma. The postoperative period was characterized by urethral pain as well as vaginal leakage of urine.
