A presentation of ovarian fibrothecoma in a middle-aged female with recurrent massive ascites and postmenopausal bleeding: A case report

Fibrothecomas are mostly benign ovarian tumors. We describe a rare case of fibrothecoma in a 59-year-old woman with a history of recurrent massive ascites and postmenopausal bleeding. Over 2 years she has undergone more than 50 paracenteses with 8–11 L withdrawn each time. She presented with a newly...
