摘要: Summary Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynaecological malignancy, with epithelial tumours being largest group (90%). Although ovarian create no histological diagnostic problems, a small proportion may be subject to misinterpretation resulting in serious clinical implications. The following are commonly encountered problems surgical pathology practice: (1) deciding whether malignant tumour primary or secondary; (2) problem of borderline tumours; (3) some variants endometrioid carcinoma; (4) realizing existence an admixture patterns single tumour—e.g. serous plus endometrioid, clear cell serous, etc.; and (5) distinguishing poorly differentiated carcinomas from non-epithelial undifferentiated tumours. In this review attempt address these presented illustrative examples.
