CHAPTER 6 – Epithelial Ovarian Neoplasms

摘要: Epithelial ovarian neoplasms represent about 90% of all primary malignant tumors. Their origin is in the surface or germinal epithelium that covers ovary continuity with peritoneal mesothelium. Epithelialstromal tumors include elements from adjacent stroma. The tendency for to be associated neoplasms, and occasionally endometrial can explained by an “area response” “field effect” carcinogens. histologic patterns epithelial neoplasm show similarities regardless their location: serous papillary are histologically identical peritoneum; endometrioid carcinoma; mucinous carcinoma endocervical clear cell carcinomas endocervix, endometrium, ovary. classification based on WHO classification. This chapter emphasizes its most common types detail. Majority benign nature represented cystadenomas, which combined.
