endometriosis cyst

A
  • ovary
  • thick, altered blood (CHOCOLATE CYST)
  • cyst wall=endometrial-type glands, stroma, hemorrhage/hemosiderin
32
Q

ovarian tumors, malignant or benign

A

most are benign

33
Q

which tumors of the ovary represent the highest total % and highest total malignant %

A

epithelial

  • serous
  • mucinous
  • endometrioid
  • clear cell
  • transitional cell/Brenner
34
Q

tubal type epithelium

A

serous epithelial tumor

35
Q

endocervical type epithelium

A

mucinous epithelial tumor

36
Q

endometrioid type epithelium

A

endometrioid epithelial tumor

37
Q

secretory type endometrial epithelium

A

clear cell tumors

38
Q

transitional type epithelium

A

transitional cell/Brenner

39
Q

surface epithelial tumors show morphology similar to

A

Fallopian tube/endometrium/cervix

recapitulate cell types formed by Mullerian duct

40
Q

cystadenoma

A
  • unilocular cysts
  • lined by tubal type epithelium
  • contain thin, clear serous fluid
41
Q

benign serous cystadenoma histo

A

benign tubal-type epithelium

42
Q

borderline serous cystadenoma histo

A

more papillary configuration, no stromal invasion

43
Q

malignant serous cystadenoma histo

A

complex papillary growth with cytological atypia and stromal invasion

44
Q

malignant serous cystadenoma

A

derived from serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) cells of the Fallopian tube, which drop off onto the ovary

*risk reducing salpingectomy may reduce the incidence of this tumor in high risk patients

malignant serous tumors may be cystic or solid

papillary growth

45
Q

psammoma bodies

A

calcified spherules found in any papillary tumor

common in serous carcinoma

46
Q

most ovarian gerrm cell tumors are

mature cystic teratomas (dermoid cysts) - benign, peak 20-30 y/o

47
Q

dermoid cyst

A

mature teratoma

one of the most comm ovarian tumors

50
Q

tumor similar to the seminoma of the testis and germinoma of the CNS/mediastinum

A

dysgerminoma

51
Q

dysgerminoma prognosis

A

excellent, radiosensitive and usu low stage

52
Q

dysgerminoma histo

A 
undifferentiated germ cells
nests of lg cells w/ clear cytoplasm
central nuclei
"fried egg" 
glycogen/lymphocytes
53

highly malignant tumor

potential for differentiating towards endodermal sinus tumors, choriocarcinomas or teratomas

55

yolk sac tumor

A

aka endodermal sinus tumor

highly malignant tumor w/ differentiation towards yolk sac structures

AFP

A

prod by ovarian yolk sac tumor

used for dx and therapeutic monitoring

  • mass or ascites, esp in larger tumors
  • Meig’s syndrome
  • benign, look like fibroids, composed of fibroblasts
61
Q

Meig’s syndorme

complications of thecoma

A

estrogenic side effects

  • abnml uterine bleeding
  • endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma
  • breast changes
64
Q

theca appearance

A

yellowish color due to stromal theca cell accumulation of lipid

65
