Q

Pathogenesis of adenomatoid tumour?

A

Proliferation of surface epithelium of fallopian tube = deeps into the wall of the fallopian tube, producing tubule-like structures within the stroma

A

Large, firm, bosselated external surface
Soft and fleshy

20
Q

What is the histological appearance of a dysgerminoma?

A

Nests of monotonous tumour cells with clear glycogen-filled cytoplasm

Fibrous septa with lymphocytes

21
Q

Types of teratomas?

A

Mature
- Benign: Cystic Teratoma, struma ovarii
- malignant: SCC, thyroid

Immature
(malignant)

22
Q

Yolk sac tumours histologically have what distinguishing characteristic? What marker is elevated? Who gets it?

A

Schiller-Duval bodies
Alpha fetoprotein
Children & Young Women

23
Q

How to distinguish immature and mature teratoma?

A

Primitive neuroepithelium

24
Q

State the 4 types of ovarian surface epithelial tumours

A
  1. Endocervical Differentiation - mucinous tumours
  2. Tubal Differentiation - serous tumours
  3. Endometrial Differentiation - Endometrioid and clear cell type
  4. Urothelial - Brenner Tumour
25
Q

What is the pathogenesis of the two types of epithelial tumours?

A

Type 1: Progression from benign to borderline to carcinoma
Type 2: From inclusion cysts/fallopian tube epithelium that show high grade features (serous)

26
Q

What are the histological criteria for borderline ovarian neoplasms?

A
  1. Epithelial Hyperplasia - stratification, tufts (papillary like structures instead of single epithelial layer)
  2. Atypia - mild tomoderate
  3. Minimal Mitotic Activity
  4. Absence of destructive stromal invasion
27
Q

Features of mucinous cystadenoma?

A
  1. Enlarged ovary
  2. Mucinous, Multiloculated
  3. locules filled with mucinous material
  4. Mucinous Epithelium
28
Q

Features of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma

A

Less mucinous differentiation - form complex glands invading into stroma, necrosis, lot of mitoses

29
Q

Features of serous cystadenoma?

A

Multi-loculated, serous fluid

Lining epithelium is ciliated (low cuboidal to columnar

30
Q

Features of Endometrioid Ovarian Tumours?

A

Endometrial type differentiation (endomtrium composed of tubular structures with stratified epithelium)

31
Q

Risk factor of Endometroid ovarian tumours?

A

Endometriosis (15% co exist)

32
Q

Risk of endometrioid ovarian tumours?

A

Most are carcinomas

33
Q

Gross and histological features of Clear Cell ovarian adenocarcinoma?

A

G: Solid/Cystic
H: Large sheets of epithelial cells with clear cytoplasm and tubules with hobnail nuclei

34
Q

Histological features of Brenner Tumour?

A

Nests of urothelial-like cells in a dense fibrous stroma
Nuclei folded onto self

35
Q

What is a fibroma-thecoma?

A

Stromal tumour with fibroblasts or plump spindle cells with lipid droplets

36
Q

What can fibroma-thecoma lead to?

A

Meig’s syndrome: fibroma, ascites, pleural effusion

37
Q

What is the gross appearance of a fibroma-thecoma?

A

Solid, uniform
or Cerebreform appearance

38
Q

Gross appearance of Granulosa Cell tumour?

A

39
Q

Histological appearance of granulosa cell tumours?

A

Follicular pattern (call-exner bodies)
Cleaved, elongated nuclei (coffee bean)

40
Q

What stain is good for granulosa cell tumours?

A

Inhibin

41
Q

What are the complications of granulosa cell tumour?

A

Estrogen secretion
- endometrial hyperplasia & carcinoma

leading to precocious puberty

42
Q

Granulosa cell tumours are malignant due to the potential for local spread, but does not have distal mets beyond abdominal cavity
