A

high grade serous carcinoma

  • serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC)
  • most cases are tubal in origin

low grade serous carcinoma
-serous borderline tumour

17
Q

what tumours are associated with Lynch syndrome

A

endometrioid and clear cell

18

what is a Brenner tumour

A

tumour of transitional type epithelial

usually benign

19
Q

what tumours arise from germ cells

A
benign - dermoid cyst 
teratoma 
dysgerminoma 
yolk sac tumour 
choriocarcinoma 
mixed germ cell tumour
20
Q

what is the most common malignant germ cell tumour

A

dysgerminoma

1-2% of all ovarian tumours

almost exclusively children and young women

average age is 22

21
Q

what tumours arise from the stroma of the ovaries

A

Fibroma/thecoma

Granuloma cell tumour

Sertoli-leydig cell tumours

22
Q

what do fibroma/thecoma tumours produce

A

oestrogen

may cause uterine bleeding

23
Q

characteristics of granulosa cell tumours

A

all potentially malignant

may be associated with oestrogen manifestations

24
Q

what do thecal/leydig cell tumours produce

A

androgens

v rare

A

stomach
colon
breast
pancreas

26

what is FIGO stage 1 (A,B and C) of ovarian cancer

A

1A - tumour limited to one ovary

1C- cancer involving ovarian surface/rupture/surgical spill/ tumour in washings

27
Q

what is FIGO stage 2 (A and B) of ovarian cancer

A

2A- extension on uterus/Fallopian tube

2B- extension onto pelvic intraperitoneal structures

28
Q

FIGO stage 3 (A,B and C) for ovarian cancer

A

3A- retroperitoneal lymph node mets or microscopic peritoneal involvement

3B- macroscopic peritoneal mets beyond pelvis up to 2cm in dimension

3C- macroscopic peritoneal metastasis >2cm in dimension
