Ovarian cystadenofibroma of a rare benign tumor of the ovary often mimicking as a malignant ovarian tumor. Cystadenofibroma of the ovary affects females in the fifth decade, usually a benign tumor. Their presentation often mimics a malignant tumor posing a difficult management decision for the clinicians. It has epithelial and fibrous stromal components; they represent less than 2% of benign ovarian tumors. We report here a case of a postmenopausal woman with clinical presentation of a mass per abdomen, suspicious of malignant ovarian tumor based on imaging of complex cysts with thick septa and a raised CA-125. She underwent exploratory laparotomy for the same, and histopathology revealed it to be a benign serous cystadenofibroma of the ovary. We report this case for its rarity as well as for certain features that may help a clinician to suspect this entity intraoperatively, and optimize management for this benign condition.
