ovarian pathology Flashcards
non-neoplastic cysts
follicular cysts
corpus luteum cyst
endometriosis
follicular cysts
very common reach up to 5cm forms when there is no LH surge and cyst doesn't rupture to release egg usually harmless resorb in 2-3 cycles smooth walled unicameral/simple cysts
corpus luteum cyst
if the opening from the released egg seals -> cyst
may spontaneously resolve or grow to 4cm
may hemorrhage or undergo torsion
endometriosis
repeated cycles may form chocolate cyst
ovarian torsion
sudden unilateral pain
occurs in young adult women typically with mass >5cm
must R/O ectopic by ultrasound
surgery
PCOD
aka stein-leventhal syndrome
most common endocrine issue in repro age women
8-10% of all women worldwide
PCOD symptoms
oligomenorrhea
hyperandrogenism (hirsutism etc)
polycystic ovareis
obesity, acanthrosis nigricans, DM, premature atherosclerosis
features of PCOD
anovulation MMR (amenorrhea) infertility acne, hirsuitism insulin resistance and obesity high cholesterol
stromal hyperthecosis
overlaps with PCOD
usually both ovaries enlarged with hormonally active ovarian stroma
most common in postmenopausal
virulization may be striking
infertility
failure to conceive after 1 year of sex
fecundity
likelihood of pregnancy over time
serous tumors
47%
cystadenoma
borderline tumors
adenocarcinomas (type I and II)
mucinous tumors
3%
cystadenoma
adenocarcinoma (only type I)
endometrioid tumors
20%
adenocarcinomas (type I and II)
sex-cord stromal tumors
granulosa tumors
fibrothecomas
sertoli-leydig tumors
germ cell tumors
teratoma
dysgerminoma
endodermal
sinus (yolk sac)
metastatic tumors
5%
ovarian CA overview
asymptomatic until late disease of older women (60s) BRCA 1&2 mutations lynch syndrome II (MSH 2 mutation) prognosis dependent on stage often b/l NO effective screening may arise from distal fallopian tube
serous cystadenoma
common benign lined by single layer of epi which is ciliated
serous borderline carcinoma
excrescences on cyst wall, more cytologic atypia, NO invasion
papillary
often seed peritonium
100% 5 yr survival
serous adenocarcinoma type I
low grade slow progression
