Ovarian Tumors of Low Malignant Potential
نویسنده
چکیده
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 Hopkins group has long been at the forefront of research on ovarian LMP tumors. In this review, I will attempt to place some of the authors' comments into perspective and, at times, present a different point of view.
