morphology Flashcards
in ovary
Sertoli or Leydig cells interspersed with stroma.
Well-differentiated: Sertoli-leydig Cell Tumors
in ovary
sarcomatous pattern w disorderly disposition of epi cell cords & Leydig cells may be absent.
Poorly-differentiated: Sertoli-leydig Cell Tumors
- Sharply circumscribed, discrete, round, firm, gray-white tumors
- whorled pattern of smooth mm. bundles resembling the uninvolved myometrium.
- oval nucleus & long, slender bipolar cytoplasmic processes.
- Scarce mitotic figures
- yellow-brown-red areas of softening.
Uterine Leiomyoma (fibroids)
- Exophytic, papillary architecture
- Prominent koilocytic atypia
Warty Carcinoma (of vulva)
Larger cysts near the fimbriated end of the tube or in the broad ligaments
lined with benign, serous (tubal type) epi
Hydatids of Morgagni
in ovary
-in the ovarian stroma composed of both fibroblasts & plump spindle cells w lipid droplets.
ovarian fibrothecoma
in ovary
- cells that look like granulosa cells of a developing ovarian follicle.
- yellow from stored lipids
- call-exner bodies
granulosa cell tumors of ovary
-Call-Exner bodies: small, distinct, gland-like structures filled with acidophilic material.
thinning of epidermis: parchment paper
lichen sclerosis leukoplakia
in ovary
Unilateral tumors
Large vesicular cells with clear cytoplasm (like seminoma).
Grow in sheets or cords.
Scant fibrous stroma infiltrated by mature lymphocytes +/- granulomas
dysgerminoma
- placental infarcts and syncytial knots
- retroplacental hematomas
- abn decidual vessels
preeclampsia placenta
proliferating, back-to-back, branching glands w nuclear atypia
atypical endometrial hyperplasia
prolif of glandular epi w lg, hyperchrimatic nuclei and dark appearance of glands
adenocarcinoma of cervix
in ovary
o Extensive mucinous ascites.
o Cystic epi implants on peritoneal surfaces, adhesions, and frequent involvement of the ovaries
Pseudomyxoma Peritonei
cowdry bodies
HSV
intraepithelial malignancy w cells larger than surrounding keratinocytes
extramammary paget dis
Eosinophilic epi metaplasia ~ menstrual epi BUT lacks progesterone dependent morphologic features (glandular secretory changes, stromal predecidualization) bc the corpus luteum does not develop.
Anovulatory Cycle
Delicate, friable mass of thin walled, translucent, cystic, grapelike structures with swollen, edematous (hydropic) villi.
hydatidiform mole
glandular and squamous epi of cervix
adenosquamous carcinoma of cervix
chocolate cysts/endometriomas:
endometriosis
-3-5cm cystic masses filled w brown fluid (hemosiderin deposits) from previous hemorrhage
Only a fraction of the villi are enlarged and edematous.
Trophoblastic hyperplasia is focal and less marked
Partial Mole
in ovary
o Extraembryonic differentiation of malignant germ cells of placental origin.
choriocarcinoma
- Surface epi: viral cytopathic changes (koilocytic atypia).
- Nuclear enlargement, hyperchromasia, cytoplasmic nuclear halo
Condyloma Acuminatum (genital wart)
Cells small w oval nuclei and cytoplasmic protrusions (tennis racket shape).
cells (often mistaken for inflamm. Polyps)
Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma (sarcoma bortyoides)
in ovary
Glomerulus-like structure with a central blood vessel enveloped by tumor cells in a space lined by tumor cells (schiller-duval body).
yolk sac tumor
in ovary
Solid + cystic areas of growth.
Epithelium consists of tubular glands resembling endometrium
endometriod tumors of ovary (mullerian epithelium)
inreased gland:stroma ratio
-back-to-back w maybe some intervening stroma
nonatypical endometrial hyperplasia
