Quick Summary:

  • Benign Serous Cystadenofibroma of Ovary is a common benign ovarian tumor that generally affects women in their fifth decade. The causal factors for Benign Serous Cystadenofibroma of Ovary are unknown
  • Tumors of the ovaries can be benign, borderline or low malignant potential (LMP), or malignant tumors. Thus, not all ovarian tumors are cancers

  • Benign Serous Cystadenofibroma of Ovary is a slow-growing epithelial tumor. It usually occurs as a combination of cystic and solid mass within the ovary
  • In majority of the cases, the tumor is present as a single mass within the ovary; though rarely, the tumor can occur as multiple masses within a single ovary, or it may affect both the ovaries as well
  • These tumors are considered to be serous type of tumors based on their characteristic appearance under a microscope
  • Benign Serous Cystadenofibroma of Ovary usually presents with sign and symptoms, such as abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and increased abdominal size.
