“…It is well known that leiomyoma of the ovary is very rare. [15][16][17][18] It is therefore not surprising that we did not find any case during the study period. Leiomyoma of the ovary can easily be misclassified as subserous uterine leiomyomas hence effort should be made to extensively section the nodule to identify native ovarian tissue that might be compressed and pushed to the periphery in such cases.…”

Background: Our aim is to describe the clinicopathology features of spindle cell tumors of the female genital tract seen in our hospital and to compare the findings with what is seen in other parts of the world. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of all spindle cell tumors diagnosed in the department of Morbid Anatomy and Forensic medicine of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, Nigeria from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2022. Results: Leiomyoma was the most common spindle cell tumour seen. Only 570 cases met the inclusion criteria. Only one nodule was removed in 130 cases (22%) while greater than one nodule was excised in 432 cases (75.8%). The mean age of patients was 40.77 years while the age range was 19-79 years. About three-quarters of leiomyomas are removed in the age-group 31-50. There was no correlation between the number of nodules removed and the age of the patient. The next second most common spindle cell tumor seen was malignant mixed mullerian tumour. Eleven cases were seen in the study period, The average age was 57.7 years. The age range of cases was 27-72 years. Conclusions: Our study supports the general observation that leiomyomas commonly cause symptoms in the reproductive age group and that most patients with leiomyoma frequently have more than one nodule. Our study further reinforces the widely established knowledge that MMMT is found in older post-menopausal women and can occasionally be seen in younger pre-menopausal women.

Ovarian leiomyoma accounts only for 0.5–1% of all benign ovarian tumors, and almost no preoperative diagnosis has been achieved. Commonly, these tumors are small in size and asymptomatic. However, they can become symptomatic as their size increases; thus, it is important to recognize this entity and differentiate them from ovarian malignant tumors. Radical surgeries with total hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy are usually performed. However, ovary-preserving surgery has been suggested to young women, especially those desiring fertility in the future. In this study, we shared seven cases of primary ovarian leiomyomas and one inherent ligament leiomyoma, reviewed related articles to provide some new information about leiomyoma of the ovary, and discussed their proper surgical management.

Ovarian edema is a rare solid tumor-like condition, usually seen in women of reproductive age. It occurs due to the accumulation of interstitial fluid in the stroma of the ovary, because of partial or complete torsion of the ovary causing interference with the venous or lymphatic flow but not the arterial flow. It is a misleading condition, difficult to diagnose visually and can lead to oophorectomy resulting in loss of fertility and hormonal function. We report the case of a 13-year-old girl who presented with acute abdomen. The ovary gave a visual impression of malignancy at laparoscopy and a frozen section was done. The frozen section ruled out malignancy and reported as ovarian edema which is a benign condition. The patient underwent ovarian detorsion and the ovary was conserved. Ovarian conservation is important in young girls and oophorectomy should not be done on visual suspicion. When possible frozen section should be done to confirm a benign pathology intraoperatively before taking a decision of surgical removal of the ovary.
