Ovarian fibroma is a tumor of the stroma and sex cords of the ovary. It is rare and represents 1% to 4% of benign ovarian tumors. It is sometimes associated with Demons-Meigs syndrome, raising suspicion of malignancy at the clinical and paraclinical stages. We report a case of bilateral ovarian fibroma diagnosed in the Pathological Anatomy Department of CHU Anosiala. A 46-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and pollakiuria. Clinical examination revealed a palpable abdominopelvic mass lateralized to the right. Ultrasound suspected leiomyoma. Foci of microcalcifications were observed. The patient underwent bilateral adnexectomy. The histological study confirmed the diagnosis of bilateral ovarian fibroma. This is the first case of ovarian fibroma reported at the CHU Anosiala.
