Brenner Tumours

17
Q

The 4 germ cell tumours

A
  • cystic teratoma (dermoid)
  • solid teratoma
  • dysgerminoma
  • endodermal sinus tumour (yolk sac tumour)
18
Q

Usually benign, mostly complex with fat/fluid/calcifications, “tip of the iceberg” appearance

A

Dermoid

19
Q

Also called immature teratoma, can be benign to highly malignant, appears as a solid mass with possible complex internal echoes

A

Solid teratoma

20
Q

Solid, rare, in young women, malignant and highly radiosensitive, the male counterpart being seminoma

A

Dysgerminoma

21
Q

Malignant, solid, fast growing, increased AFP, poor prognosis

A

Endodermal sinus tumour/Yolk sac tumour

22
Q

The 3 connective cell tissue/stromal tumours

A
  • granulosa cell tumour
  • sertoli-leydig cell
  • fibroma/fibrosarcoma
23
Q

Solid, usually benign, produces estrogen causing precocious puberty and irregular cycles (connective cell tumour)

A

Granulosa cell tumour

24
Q

(Connective cell tumour) Also called androblastoma, produces androgens and causes masculinization, usually benign but can become malignant

A

Sertoli-leydig cell tumour

25
Q

(Connective cell tumour) Associated with Meigs’ Syndrome, solid, may look like a fibroid but in the ovary

A

Fibroma

Malignant form is fibrosarcoma

26
Q

Large, complex mass that produces mucin and is a met

A

Krukenberg’s tumour
