Polycystic ovarian disease
Definition
Morphology
Clinical features
Def: Multiple cystic follicles in the
ovary.
Pathophysiology
Excessive secretion of estrogen and
androgen.
High LH
Low FSH
LH/FSH Ratio: high
Clinical features/complications
A. Oligomenorrhoea (Polycystic ovarian
disease with oligomenorrhea is known as
Stein-Leventhal syndrome)
B. Hirsuitism
C. Infertility

Serous tumor : Types
1. Benign
2. Borderline
3. Malignant
Note: All surface epithelial tumors
can be divided in these three types
Features of Serous tumor
Common ovarian
tumor.
Mostly benign.
Cysts are lined by
single Ciliated
columnar epithelium.
Cyst contain serous fluid.
Bilateral (25%)
Usually Small.
Microscopy of serus tumor: Cysts are lined
by single Ciliated columnar epithelium
Borderline Serous Tumor
Between benign cyst adenomas and
malignant cystadenocarcinomas lies the
grey zone of "borderline" lesions that are
not clearly malignant, but are treated
as though they could be.
Malignant serous Tumor : Papillary serous
cystadenocarcinomas : note papillary areas.
Microscopy : Papillary process and cellular
crowding and Psammoma body (not seen)
Psammomma body in serous
tumors( malignant)
Spread of the tumor
These neoplasms characteristically spread
by "seeding" along peritoneal surfaces.
Marker for Surface epithelial tumors: CA
125
Features of Mucinous tumor
Not common ( 10%), Large
Cysts are lined by single layer
Mucin secreting columnar
epithelium.
Cyst contain Mucinous gelatinous
fluid: if rupture produce
Pseudomyxoma peritonei.
Histology : Multilocular cysts lined by a single layer
of benign mucinous columnar epithelium.
Compare Serous and mucinous tumors
Teratoma
Types
Dermoid cyst
Immature malignant Teratoma
Struma Ovarii.
Types
1. Benign Teratoma ( Mature: usually
cystic)
2. Malignant Teratoma( Immature : usually
solid)
3. Monodermal Teratoma ( carcinoid Tumor,
struma ovarii)
Benign Teratoma ( Mature)
of ovary
It is also called Dermoid cyst. ( because it
contains dermal appendages).
Dermoid cyst : Mature cystic
Teratoma
Immature Malignant Teratoma
Mean age : 18 years
Features : bulky, solid
Histology : Tissue containing immature
neural tissue with neuroepithelial
differentiation.
Dysgerminoma
Etiopathogenesis : Occur with gonadal
dygenesis.
Radiosensitive tumor : 80% cure
Unilateral
Grey white homogenous
Mimic Seminoma histology !
Granulosa-theca cell tumor
Age : Post menopause but any age
Unilateral
Diagnostic point : Presence of call Exner
body in Histology.
Function: Secrete estrogen ; promote
endometrial, breast carcinoma.
Presence of call Exner body
Sertoli Leydig cell tumor
Age: all age
Unilateral
Point for identification: Gross: Yellow
brown, solid. Micro: Pink Sertoli
Leydig cells.
Clinical effect: Masculinizing (
defeminizing).
Gross: Yellow brown, solid.
Struma ovarii
In
this tumor the Teratoma
contain predominantly thyroid
tissue.
Struma ovarii : produce
Hyperthyroidism
Metastasic tumor
Age: older age
Primary Tumor: Breast, lung, GIT
Big bilateral mass
Example : Tumor name : Krukenberg
tumor
Krukenberg tumor
1. Primary tumor : Gastric
adenocarcinoma
2. Route of metastasis : Seeding
through body cavity.
3. Bilateral always.
4. Histology : contain “ signet ring”
cells.
Gross
Nice to Know this Tumor:
Thecoma-fibroma
Any age
Unilateral
Produce Meigs syndrome( ovarian
tumor with ascites and Hydrothorax)
