Radiographic features
A large unilateral ovarian heterogeneous solid mass frequently has areas of haemorrhage and or cystic degeneration. It may extend beyond boundaries of the ovary.
Treatment and prognosis
Ovarian fibrosarcoma has a poor prognosis and treatment consists of complete surgical resection followed by chemotherapy.
Poor prognostic factors are a very high mitotic figure, necrosis and less collagen.
