Lipoma of the ovary: a case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Lipomatous ovarian tumors are extremely rare with only a few cases reported in the literature (1-5). Ovary is an unusual location for lipoma and its histogenesis has still been controversial. Almost all reports included some statement regarding the rarity of ovarian lipomas. In the majority these lipomatous tumors are components of benign ovarian teratomas (4). A case of lipoma of the ovary is described and the literature on lipoma of the ovary is briefly reviewed.
