Calcifications in mucinous and serous cystic ovarian tumors.
Mucinous cystic ovarian tumors sometimes contain calcifications, but the frequency and significance of such calcifications in diagnostic radiology are not well understood. We therefore retrospectively investigated the radiological and histopathological evidence of calcifications in 44 cases of ovarian mucinous cystic tumors (22 benign, 13 borderline, and 9 malignant) and 21 cases of ovarian ser...
متن کاملRisk factors for benign serous and mucinous epithelial ovarian tumors.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors for benign serous and mucinous epithelial ovarian tumors. METHODS Cases were women newly diagnosed with benign serous ovarian tumors (n=230) or benign mucinous tumors (n=133) between 2002 and 2005. Control women were selected at random from the general population (n=752). All participants completed a comprehensive reproductive and lifestyle questionna...
متن کاملUseful aspects of diagnosis of imprint cytology in intraoperative consultation of ovarian tumors: comparison between imprint cytology and frozen sections
BACKGROUND In the intraoperative consultation of ovarian tumors, the histological diagnosis of frozen sections (FS) of large tumors is frequently difficult because of the limited number of tumor samples. The application of imprint cytology (IC), in which samples are obtained from wide areas of the tumors, is useful for intraoperative consultation. However, the useful aspects of IC have not been...
متن کاملFrequent PTEN/MMAC mutations in endometrioid but not serous or mucinous epithelial ovarian tumors.
Epithelial ovarian cancer comprises three major histological subtypes (serous, mucinous, and endometrioid), and it is becoming clear that the developmental pathways for these subtypes are fundamentally different. In particular, endometrioid ovarian cancers probably arise by the malignant transformation of ectopic endometrial implants called endometriosis and not the ovarian surface epithelium. ...
متن کاملSerous and mucinous ovarian tumors express different profiles of MMP-2, -7, -9, MT1-MMP, and TIMP-1 and -2.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) play key roles in tumorigenesis, but little is known of their expression according to mucinous or serous type. This study aimed to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of MMP-2, -7, -9, MT1-MMP, TIMP-1 and -2 in these tumors. A tissue microarray was set up including 99 serous (25 benign, 27 borderline, 47 malignant) and...
