A 33-year-old patient presented with ascites and a right abdominal mass. Ultrasound and scannography showed it was probably a solid ovarian tumor measuring 175 mm x 115 mm. Serum Ca 125 was 752 UI/mL and ACE was normal. Surgical exploration revealed 3.2 liters ascites without any suspect peritoneal implant and a bulky ovarian fibrothecoma.
