Fibroma is a sex cord-stromal tumor of ovary, a benign tumor and due to the source of stromal, it cannot produce CA125. CA125 is produced from epithelial cells of the peritoneum, Pleural, pericardium, endocervix, endometrium and fallopian tubes. In this article, a rare case of fibroma with increased CA125 levels is reported.

The patient was a 48-year-old nulligravida woman with regular menstrual cycles, with a history of infertility that had undergoing IVF; during an ultrasound, a left ovarian mass was detected. The mass was solid with size of 160×100×90 mm in the left ovary and due to its association with high ascites, pleural effusion, and high CA125; she was admitted to the Imam Khomeini Hospital of Tehran.

Increased CA125 levels and its association with adnexa masses, ascites and pleural effusion are the manifestations of malignant ovarian masses. Increased CA125 is not necessarily associated with malignancy, however, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis of Meigs' syndrome which is associated with benign ovarian fibroma masses. Evaluating the cytology of ascites and sending the mass to the pathology of frozen section during surgery should be used to prevent extensive surgeries and loss of fertility. In this patient, fibrothecoma was diagnosed based on Frozen and fibroma was a definitive diagnosis based on pathology.

Central odontogenic fibroma is a rare odontogenic neoplasm that originates from odontogenic ectomesenchyme. Most cases occur in the mandible and between the ages of 11 and 39 years. The neoplasm shows a definite female preponderance, with a ratio of 2.2:1 and has a very low recurrence rate. The aim of this article was to report a case of this rare lesion which was accidental found.
Case Report: A 11-year-old female, during her orthodontic treatment and without any complain and any sign or symptoms, performed a panoramic image for assessing the permanent teeth buds. In the panoramic view a unilocular radiolucent lesion with well-defined and corticated borders in the right mandibular body region was evident. The lesion was treated with simple excision. Simple type of central odontogenic fibroma histopathologic features was observed in the microscopic view.
Although the central odontogenic fibroma is a rare benign neoplasm, however, a careful evaluation of radiographic images is important for early detection of lesions because the patient may have no clinical symptoms such as swelling, pain and paresthesia.
