Ovarian Tumours Flashcards
Tumor marker CA125 increased in:
90% of epithelial tumours
Tumour marker HCG increased in:
Choriocarcinoma
Alpha-feto protein increased in:
Endodermal sinus tumours
carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 increased in:
Mucinous tumours
Lactate dehydrogenase increased in:
Dysgerminoma
Functional non neoplastic tumors:
Follicular cyst : <3cm
Luteal cyst:
1. Corpus luteal cyst: hge into cyst
2. Theca luteal cyst: +HCG, a/w hydatidiform mole, chorioca-clomid or gonadotropine therapy
Pathological non-neoplastic tumors:
Ovarian Endometriotic cyst
PCOS
Benign tumors:
Epithelial tumors
Benign germ cells tumors
Sex cord stromal tumors
Benign Epithelial tumors
Serous cyst adenoma
Mucinous cyst adenoma
Brenner tumor
Benign germ cells
Mature teratoma or dermoid cyst
Benign sex cord stromal tumors;
Fibroma
Sertoli-leydig cell
Thecoma
Lipoma
Neoplastic tumors:
Surface epithelium
Serous cyst adenoma : CA125
Mucinous cyst adenoma: CEA&C19, 9
Clear cell tumor: worst prog, hobnail cells
Endometrioid: a/w EC
Brenner: most are benign
Germ cell tumors embryonic
- Teratoma: adolsencenc, unilateral symptomless unless ruptured
- Dysgerminoma (common form of malignancy in germ cells): phenotypic femal, bilateral, radiosensitive (good prog) ++LDH
- Extra embryonic: Endodermal sinus tumor: secrete AFP and non-gestational chorio carcinoma secrete HCG
4.Gonado plastima - 2ry tumors from metastasis (krukenberg) : bilateral? Signal ring cells
Sex cord tumors(stromal tumors):
Granulosa &theca cell tumor
Sertoli-leydig cells (androblastoma or arrhenoblastima)
Gynandroblastoma
Fibroma
It may produces estrogen, cause precocious puberty and postmenopausal bleeding
Granulosa & theca cell tumor
