What % of benign ovarian neoplasms are Benign ovarian sex cord stromal tumours?
SCSTs account for <4 percent of ovarian benign neoplasms
What % of malignant ovarian neoplasms
are sex cord stroma tumours?
malignant ovarian SCSTs account for <8 % of ovarian malignant neoplasm
What is the incidence of sex cord stromal tumours?
0.2 : 100 000 (US)
What is the avg age at diagnosis of ovarian sex cord stromal tumours?
50
What % of germ cell tumours are in women less than 30?
12%
In women with granulosa cell tumours what % will have endometrial hyperplasia and what % will have carcinoma?
25 - 50% will have endometrial hyperplasia/intraepithelial neoplasia
5 to 10 % will have carcinoma
In patients with thecoma what % will have endometrial hyperplasia and what % will have carcinoma?
Endometrial hyperplasia in 15% and Carcinoma present in 20 - 25%
What % of sex cord stromal tumoru present with disease 1. confined to the ovary, 2. spread to surrounding organs or tissues, 3. distant metastases/
- confined to the ovary 57 %
spread to surrounding organs or tissues - 15 %
and distant metastases 22%
Fibromas are the most common of the benign SCSTs and account for what % of all ovarian Neoplasms?
4%
Describe the histological features of fibromas
Fibromas are made almost entirely of fibroblasts.
Cellular fibromas are a type of fibroma characterized by:
- mildly increased cellular density,
- mild nuclear atypia, and an
- average of three or fewer mitotic figures per 10 high power fields (HPF)
What is Gorlin syndrome?
Gorlin Syndrome, also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma cyndrome.
Affects 1: 31,000. Most commonly presents with BCC’s but increased risk of Ovarian fibromas.
Mutations in the PTCH1 gene are the main cause Gorlin syndrome.
Describe the microscopic appearance of thecomas
- composed of theca cells.
- may contain granulosa cell components; called granulosa-theca cell tumors
- If granulosa cells predominate, then they are considered granulosa cell tumors.
Granulosa cell tumours are the most common type of potentially malignant SCST and compromise what % of malignant ovarian neoplasms?
2 - 5%
What % of malignant SCST are granulosa cell tumours?
90%
Describe the histological appearance of adult granulosa cell tumours?
Contain small, bland, cuboidal (to polygonal) cells with scant cytoplasm and pale, uniform and usually grooved nuclei (coffee bean). Mitotic activity is usually not brisk ( < 3 / 10 HPF)
- Hypervascular stroma with vairable amounts of fibroblasts and theca cells
- cells may arrange themselves in small clusters or rosette around a central cavity - termed call exner bodies.
