Here are bilateral benign ovarian tumors. These proved to be fibrothecomas. The thecoma component of the neoplasm gives the tumor a yellowish cast because of the lipid content and can also produce estrogen. These are tumors that arise from the ovarian stroma. They are bilateral in only about 10% of cases. A right-sided hydrothorax in association with this tumor is known as Meig's syndrome. |
