This report details a rare case of primary ovarian leiomyoma affecting both ovaries in a 16-year-old patient. The case highlights the importance of careful monitoring and discussion of etiopathogenesis for this unusual gynecologic tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Primary ovarian leiomyomas are rare benign smooth muscle tumors originating in the ovary.
  • Leiomyomas typically arise in the uterus, making ovarian origin exceptionally uncommon.
  • Bilateral involvement in adolescent patients presents unique diagnostic and management challenges.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old patient presented with bilateral ovarian masses.
  • Surgical intervention revealed normal ovarian tissue, prompting ovarian preservation.
  • Tumor markers including CA-125, alpha-fetoprotein, CEA, and beta-HCG were monitored post-operatively.

Findings:

  • The case represents a previously unreported instance of primary bilateral ovarian leiomyoma in an adolescent.

  • A 30-month follow-up was conducted after initial intervention.
  • Etiopathogenesis of ovarian leiomyoma, particularly in this young demographic, was explored.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the differential diagnosis for ovarian masses in young women.
    • Ovarian preservation and careful follow-up are crucial in select cases of benign ovarian tumors.
    • Further research into the etiopathogenesis of ovarian leiomyomas may inform future clinical management.
