Ovarian Pathology I Flashcards
follicular cyst
common - up to 5cm in size
no LH surge and cyst doesn’t rupture
often resorb after 2-3 menstrual cycle
smooth walled unicameral cyst
corpus luteum cyst
opening from released egg seals off - CL to cyst
may resolve
may hemorrhage - or undergo torsion
chocolate cyst
endometriosis in ovary
glands and strom present
benign ovarian cysts
follicular and corpus luteum
sudden unilateral pain
ovarian torsion
-blood supply compromised
tx of torsion
unwind vessel or remove ovary
ovarian torsion diagnosis
rule out ectopic pregnancy
ultrasound
poycystic ovary disease
most common endo problem in women of reproductive age
stein-leventhal syndrome
oligomenorrhea, hyperandrogen, hirsutism, balding, obesity, acanthosis nigricans, diabetes
PCOD
to visualize ovaries
ultrasound
to see PCOD
hypercholesterol, anovulation, MMR, amenorrhea, infertility, acne, insulin resistance, obesity
PCOD
leathery plaque like lesion
acanthosis nigricans
-with PCOD
failure to conceive after 1 year of sex
infertility
likelihood of pregnancy over time
fecindidity
over 35 yo with increased day 3 FSH
menopause
-ovarian failure
waited too long to get pregnant
less than 35yo with progesterone >3
recent ovulation
anovulatory infertility
PCOS - high androgen
endocrinopathy - prolactin, TSH, FSH
ovulatory infertility
if have high progesterone
hysterosalpingogram - to examine tubes
- blocked - PID or mechanical
- patent - endometriosis, adhesions, uterine mass, anoaly
majority of ovarian tumors
borderline serous tumors 47%
ovarian cancer
late at presentation
older women - increased if 1st degree relative has it
genetics of ovarian cancer
BRCA 1 and 2
lynch II syndrome
prognosis of ovarian cancer
depends more on stage
overal 50% 5 year mortality
often bilateral
ovarian cancer
screening ovarian cancer
no effective way
CA125
for following prognosis of ovarian cancer
NOT for diagnosis**
majority of ovarian cancer
serosal epithelium
layers of follicle in ovary
theca interna
granulosa
theca externa
granulosa cell tumor
malignant
sertoli-leydig cell tumor
malignant
dermoid cyst
teratoma
-benign
ovary serosa
invaginates into coelomic cavity - covered by serosal membrane during embryogenesis
serous cystadenoma of ovary
benign
-lined by single layer of epithelium
