Thecoma cell tumors are benign ovarian cancer composed only of theca cells. They often occur in older women. Usual signs are lump in the lower abdomen, abnormal uterine bleeding, pain in lower abdomen. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan and biopsy may help diagnose thecoma. Treatments include surgery and radiation therapy. As a benign tumor, the prognosis of thecoma is good.
