Female adnexal tumors of probable wolffian origin (FATWO) represent a rare gynecologic tumor and display in the majority of cases a benign behavior. A 27- year- old woman underwent a laparotomy for a left adnexal mass. Pathologic examination showed a FATWO. Three years later, 1 month after a vaginal delivery, a recurrence of the disease was observed. Immunohistochemistry revealed the presence of progesterone receptors that may explain recurrence after pregnancy. In light of this case, hormone dependency of FATWO may be suggested.
