Abstract
Ovarian fibromas are the most common benign solid ovarian tumors, which are often difficult to diagnose preoperatively.
Ovarian fibromas, especially in bilateral cases, may be cases of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS), a rare autosomal
dominant disorder with predisposition to basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and other various benign and malignant
tumors. This case report describes a 25 year-old female with GGS, bilateral ovarian fibroma, endometriosis and septated
uterus, which was referred to the Gynecology Clinic of Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital in October 2016. This patient
had facial asymmetry due to recurrent odontogenic keratocysts. In young cases of ovarian fibromas as reported here,
conservative surgical management can preserve ovarian function and fertility. These patients must be followed up by
a multidisciplinary team and submitted to periodic tests.
