Abstract
PURPOSE: In this brief report, we have described a rare case of myxoma of ovary. METHODS: We have studied the detailed histopathological features of this case and discussed the relevant differential diagnosis. RESULTS: A 20-year-old female patient presented with right sided adnexal mass. Tumor marker level and other biochemical parameters were within normal limits. Exploratory laparotomy and debulking of the mass showed a large solid cystic right ovarian tumor. Microscopically, the tumor showed abundant myxoid matrix with interspersed randomly traversed sparse stellate or spindle-shaped tumor cells. The diagnosis of myxoma was offered. CONCLUSION: Ovarian myxoma is a rare but distinct entity and this should be differentiated from the other lesions of ovary with myxoid changes.
