Ovarian tumor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Ovarian neoplasms)
Gross pathology of an ovarian carcinoma.

Ovarian tumors, or ovarian neoplasms, are tumors in the ovary.[1] Not all are ovarian cancer.[1] They consist of mainly solid tissue, while ovarian cysts contain fluid.[2]

In 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) divided ovarian tumours as 90% epithelial, 3% germ cell, and 2% sex cord-stromal types.[3]

Histopathologic classification

[edit]
Ovarian tumors by incidence and risk of ovarian cancer[4]
Further information: Ovarian cancer

Tumor of the ovary vary remarkably as they may arise from any of the 3 cell types of the normal ovary.

Ovarian tumors are classified according to the histology of the tumor, obtained in a pathology report. Histology dictates many aspects of clinical treatment, management, and prognosis.

The most common forms are:

Type Subtype Relative incidence[5] Percent malignant[5] Comments Micrograph
Germ cell tumor Mature cystic teratoma 46.0% 0.17% to 2%[6] Cystic, with elements of all 3 germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm).[7]
Hair follicles.
Immature teratoma 2.5% 100% A teratoma that contains anaplastic immature elements, and is often synonymous with malignant teratoma.[8]
Other germ cell tumors 3.0% Others mainly include dysgerminoma, yolk sac tumor, struma ovarii and squamous cell carcinoma arising from a dermoid cyst, and malignant mixed germ cell tumor.[5]
Surface epithelial-stromal tumor Serous tumor 25% 18.5% Benign serous tumors of the right ovarian cyst are thinwalled unilocular cysts that are lined by ciliated pseudostratified cuboidal or columnar epithelium.[9]
Mucinous tumor 15% 8.8% Benign mucinous tumors of the ovary consist of simple, nonstratified columnar epithelium with basally-located hyperchromatic nuclei and resemble gastric foveolar epithelium.[9]
Endometrioid tumor 1% Almost 100% Tubular glands, resembling endometrium.[10]
Other surface-epithelial tumors 1.5% Others include mainly malignant mixed Müllerian tumor, Brenner tumor and mixed epithelial tumor.[5]
Brenner tumor.
Sex cord-stromal tumor Ovarian fibroma 1.5% 0% Spindle-shaped fibroblastic cells and abundant collagen.[11]
Adult granulosa cell tumor 1% Almost 100% Small, bland, cuboidal to polygonal cells in various patterns.[12]
Other sex cord-stromal tumors 1% Others include mainly juvenile granulosa cell tumor, thecoma and sclerosing stromal tumor[5]
Secondary/metastatic) tumor 2% 100% Usually from breast cancer, colon cancer, endometrial cancer, stomach cancer or cervical cancer.[13]

Mixed tumors contain elements of more than one of the above classes of tumor histology.

History

[edit]

An 1882 article appearing in Scientific American mentions the case of a patient at University of Pennsylvania Hospital when Dr. William Goodell removed a 112 lbs tumor from a 31 year old patient, who weighted 75 lbs after removal from the tumor.[14]
