Mitotically active cellular fibroma, a benign ovarian tumor, can recur years after surgical excision. This case highlights the need for long-term patient monitoring due to potential delayed recurrences.
Area of Science:
- Gynecologic Oncology
- Surgical Pathology
- Ovarian Tumors
Background:
- Mitotically active cellular fibroma is a benign ovarian tumor.
- Characterized by high mitotic rates (≥4/10 HPF) but low-grade nuclear features.
- Typically treated with surgical excision with rare recurrence.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
