- Suppurative salpingitis
- Gonococcus, Chlamydiae, Tuberculous salpingitis
- Tumors and Cysts
- paratubal cysts
- hydatids of Morgagni
- adenomatoid tumors (mesotheliomas)
- Ovaries
- Nonneoplastic and Functional Cysts
- follicle and luteal cysts
- unruptured graafian follicles
- Polycystic Ovaries and Stromal Hyperthecosis
- hyperandrogenism, menstrual abnormalities,
PCOS, chronic anovulation, decreased fertility
- many cysts, large follicles
- Stromal hyperthecosis
- hyperplasia
- theca lutein hyperplase of pregnancy
- mimics the disease
- Ovarian Tumors
- most spread beyond ovary before detection
- come from...
- surface/fallopian tube epithelium and endometriosis
- germ cells
- stromal cells
- Epithelium Tumors
- arise from mullerian epithelium
- Serous Tumors
- risk factors: nulliparity, family history, heritable mutations
- reduced by
contraceptives or
tubal ligations
- BRCA 1 and 2
mutations
- low grade
- KRAS, BRAF, ERBB2, wt TP53
- high grade
- TP53
- widespread infiltration
- Borderline Tumors
- stromal papillae, stratification of
epithelium, mild nuclear atypia, no invasion
- surface of ovary
- Mucinous Tumors
- KRAS mutation
- larger cystic masses
- distinguished from cystadenomas by epithelial stratification.
- glandular expansion
- pseudomyxoma peritonei
- mucinous ascites
- Endometrioid
Ovarian Tumors
- endometrioid adenofibromas
- benign
- have tubular glands
- mutations in
PI3K/AKT and
DNA repair,
TP53 common
- Clear Cell Carcinoma
- large epithelial cells with abundant clear cytoplasm
- resemble hypersecretory gestational endometrium
- Cystadenofibroma
- benign, simple papillary processes.
- Transitional Cell Tumors
- resemble urothelium
- Detection
- lower abdominal pain or enlargement
- generally found in later stages
- Germ cell Tumors
- Teratomas
- Mature
- benign
- dermoid cysts
- have skin like structures
- have mature tissues developed
- Monodermal or Specialized
- struma ovarii
- mature thyroid tissue
- unilateral
- Immature
- resemble benign tumors
- grow rapidly
- embryonal and fetal tissue
- Dysgerminoma
- no endocrine function
- OCT3, OCT4, NANOG
- malignant
- only some are aggressive
- Yolk Sac Tumor
- alpha
fetoprotein
- Schiller-Duval Bodies
- glomerulus like
structure surround by
tumor cells
- Choriocarinoma
- placental origin
- high levels of chorionic gonadotropins
- unresponsive to chemo
- Sex-Cord Stromal Tumors
- Granulosa Cell Tumors
- resemble ovarian follicle
- produce large amounts of estrogen
- behave like low grade malignancies
- elevated inhibin
- Fibromas, Thecomas, Fibrothecomas
- fibroblasts or spindle cells
- fibromas are unilateral, hard white masses
- pain, ascites, hydrothorax
- Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumors
- produce masculinization or defeminization
- mutations in DICER1
- Metastatic tumors
- commonly from mullerian origin
