Ovarian Tumors of Low Malignant Potential
The article by Trimble and Trimble nicely summarizes the state of knowledge on ovarian tumors of low malignant potential (LMP) and underscores the fact that gaps in that knowledge have led to confusion and controversy regarding several issues related to these interesting neoplasms. Many of these controversies can be characterized as debates between the "lumpers" and the "splitters.' The Johns H...
متن کاملOvarian tumors of low malignant potential.
Clinical and laboratory reports suggest that ovarian tumors of low malignant potential (LMP) represent a "grab bag" of tumors, with different etiologies, molecular biologies, and prognoses. As a result, data on incidence and prognosis may be quite unreliable. Diagnosis is best made on permanent section. Half of women under age 40 undergo conservative, fertility-sparing surgery when diagnosed wi...
متن کاملOvarian Tumors of Low Malignant Potential
Executive Summary Ovarian tumors of low malignant potential can be a challenge in daily underwriting, as even clinicians are not in full agreement about the correct approach. This article sheds light on this tumor and highlights some of the key favorable factors when underwriting this condition. INTRODUCTION Ovarian tumors of low malignant potential, also known as borderline tumors of the ovary...
متن کاملMolecular genetic evidence for the independent origin of multifocal papillary tumors in patients with papillary renal cell carcinomas.
PURPOSE In patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma, it is not uncommon to find two or more anatomically distinct and histologically similar tumors at radical nephrectomy. Whether these multiple papillary lesions result from intrarenal metastasis or arise independently is unknown. Previous studies have shown that multifocal clear cell renal cell carcinomas express identical allelic loss and...
متن کاملClassification of Extraovarian Implants in Patients With Ovarian Serous Borderline Tumors (Tumors of Low Malignant Potential) Based on Clinical Outcome.
The classification of extraovarian disease into invasive and noninvasive implants predicts patient outcome in patients with high-stage ovarian serous borderline tumors (tumors of low malignant potential). However, the morphologic criteria used to classify implants vary between studies. To date, there has been no large-scale study with follow-up data comparing the prognostic significance of comp...
