Etiology Thecoma-fibroma tumors are a closely related group of benign tumors that arise from ovarian stroma and are often difficult for the imager and even pathologist to distinguish. [clinicalgate.com]
It is very important to have such tumors examined by knowledgeable pathologists versed in the diagnosis of sarcomas, given the difficult in discerning them from other important types of sarcomas. [curesarcoma.org]

Patients presented with symptoms related to pelvic masses, such as abdominal pain and discomfort and flank pain. Serum levels of cancer antigen 125 was increased in two patients with MACF. All cases of MACF were a single unilateral tumor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pain associated with benign ovarian tumors is often dull and low intensity, causing sensation more akin to discomfort than frank pain. Occasionally, tumors become twisted, causing severe abdominal pain. [livestrong.com]
We hereby present a case of a 30 year old young woman who presented with abdominal pain and secondary infertility. Ultrasound evaluation misdiagnosed it as uterine fibroid. [casereports.in]
Sometimes, they manifest with abdominal enlargement, urinary symptoms, abdominal pain [ 5 ], and occasionally withtorsion [ 1 ] which is rare in the postmenopausal patient such us our case [ 14, 15 ]. [panafrican-med-journal.com]
If symptoms are present, the most common one is abdominal pain. [1] On gross pathology, they are firm and white or tan. On microscopic examination, there are intersecting bundles of spindle cells producing collagen. [en.wikipedia.org]

- Adnexal Mass
The pathological diagnosis of adnexal masses is difficult to make prior to surgery. [link.springer.com]
At pathology, the right adnexal mass was found to be a borderline serous papillary tumor. The left adnexal mass was found to represent an ovarian fibroma, a rare stromal tumor of the ovary. Its appearance is similar to uterine fibroids. [sonoworld.com]

Prognosis With early detection and treatment the prognosis for thecoma is quite good. [knowcancer.com]
Prognosis If all grades are included, primary fibrosarcoma of the bone has a worse prognosis than osteosarcoma, with a 5-year survival rate of 65%. In high-grade primary fibrosarcoma, the 10-year survival rate is less than 30%. [emedicine.medscape.com]
An infantile form of fibrosarcoma which occurs in children less than one year of age has an excellent prognosis when appropriately treated. Symptoms may include a lump or mass with or without associated pain and soreness. [medicinenet.com]
