    TLDR A rare ovarian tumor can cause unusual male-like symptoms, but surgery usually leads to a good outcome.
    Fibrothecoma is a rare ovarian tumor, comprising 3-4% of all ovarian tumors, and typically presents unilaterally with a favorable prognosis. This document reported a rare case of fibrothecoma with virilizing features in a postmenopausal woman, who exhibited symptoms such as an abdominal mass, excess terminal hair growth, and clitoromegaly. Surgery was identified as the preferred treatment, and the prognosis was generally good. Virilizing features were noted to be uncommon in fibrothecoma, highlighting the rarity of this case.
