Cystadenofibroma of the Rete Ovarii: A Case Report with Review of Literature

Lesions in the rete ovarii (RO) are quite common in mice. However, these lesions have been described rarely in humans, with the largest series comprising less than 20 cases. Tumors of the RO proper are most unusual in humans. We report a rare cystadenofibroma of the RO in a 75 year old female with a literature review. We stress the importance of recogniton of benign lesions of the RO, so that unnecessary and morbid therapies are avoided
