Fibrothecoma is a rare type of ovarian sex cord stromal tumor with only a few case reports available in the literature.Histologically, they resemble both fibroma and thecoma. Thecomas are composed of lipid-containing cells that resemble theca interna cells. Fibromas show spindle, oval, or round cells forming variable amounts of collagen. Here we report a case of 52 years old postmenopausal lady who presented with pain abdomen. Clinically, she had a firm lump predominantly in the right flank and her sonographic reports suggested a solid cum cystic mass in right ovary. She was operated with a clinical suspicion of ovarian malignancy but the histopathological examination confirmed it to be a benign fibrothecoma.
