ABSTRACT
Background - Benign cystadenofibroma of ovary is a rare, slow growing benign epithelial neoplasm of unknown etiology, mostly seen in 15 to 65 years of women. It contains epithelial and fibrous stromal components. Most tumours are asymptomatic and are usually detected incidentally during an abdominal ultrasound, performed for other reasons.
Case history - In our case while operating for tubal ligation in 25 years old non symptomatic female, a left ovarian cystic mass was incidentally found. Microscopic findings revealed Serous papillary cystadenofibroma.
