L71 Flashcards
What are the 5 types of ovarian surface epithelial tumors? Which 2 can arise from endometriosis?
- Serous
- Mucinous
- Endometrioid - endometriosis
- Clear cell - endometriosis
- Brenner/transitional
Explain the differences between benign, borderline, and malignant serous ovarian tumors
- Benign = serous cystadenoma = simple, flat lining
- Borderline = velvety, implants in abdomen as independent tumors (not mets)
- Malignant = serous carcinoma, thick + shaggy
What is the name for a benign serous or mucinous ovarian tumor?
Serous or mucinous cystadenoma
What is the tumor progression pathway to get a low grade serous ovarian carcinoma?
Cystadenoma // endometriosis -> borderline -> low grade
What is the tumor progression pathway to get a high grade serous ovarian carcinoma? What are the genes involved?
Think BRCA 1/2 + p53
Inclusion cyst
High grade
Presentation of mucinous ovarian cancer
HUGE, most benign
“Bag jelly beans”
What is a pseudomyxoma peritonei
Bilat mucinous ovarian tumor as met from appendix mucinous tumor
For epithelial tumors, describe the role of: Age Cystic vs solid tumors Bi vs unilat tumors Those associated with endometrisois
OVARIAN SURFACE EPI TUMOR
- Older = more likely to be malig
- Benign - cystic, solid - malignant
- Bilat more likely to be mets except serous
- Endometrioid + clear cell associated with endometriosis
What is a Krukenberg tumor? Unil or bilat, histology
Diffuse gastric cancer - mets to the bilat ovaries
Histo: signet ring
Which type of ovarian tumor presents before 20 yo + unilateral
Ovaruan germ cell tumors
You can guess what a mature teratoma is - so what is an immature teratoma? Treat
Contains immature neuro tissue (brain)
High grade will need chemo regardless of resection b/c immature tissue indications malignant potential (vs mature teratoma = benign)
What is a dysgerminoma Benign vs malignant Uni or bilat Enzyme elevated Age Prognosis
Ovarian "seminoma" Malignancy of oocytes Unilat Young women: 20-30s High LDH Responds to treatment
Yolk sac tumor = endodermal sinus tumor
Age
Elevated in serum
Histo
Malignant tumor in GIRLS High AFP (normally secreted by yolk sac) Schiller Duval bodies = glomerulus-like
Name the 5 types of germ cell tumors
Teratoma (mature vs immature) Dysgerminoma (oocytes) Yolk sac tumor = endodermal sinus tumor Choriocarcinoma (placental tissue) Embryonal carcinoma = emybro like, large primitive cells
2 types of sex cord stromal tissues
Ganulosa-theca cell tumor
Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor
