Abstract

Female Wolffian adnexal tumor (WAT) is a rare neoplasm arising from the remnants of the mesonephric duct and <100 cases have been reported globally. The present case report describes a 73‑year‑old female patient with WAT in the left ovary which, to the best of our knowledge, is the largest benign WAT tumor to be reported. In addition, the present case report reviewed previous studies on the clinical characteristics and therapy for WAT and the surgery methods for female WAT of ovary were summarized. WATs are typically benign; however, a number factors may increase the risk of malignancy.
