Ovarian cancer is the ninth most common malignancy and the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women in the USA. The majority of malignant tumors of the ovary are diagnosed at an advanced stage, making it the most fatal gynecological cancer. The aim of the current study was to determine whether there are differences in immunohistochemical tissue staining of cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (...

INTRODUCTION Ovarian cancer has a high mortality and delayed diagnosis. Inflammation is a risk factor for ovarian cancer, and the inflammatory response is involved in almost all stages of tumor development. Immunohistochemical staining in stroma and epithelium of a panel of cytokines in benign and malignant ovarian neoplasm was evaluated. In addition, immunostaining was related to prognostic fa...

INTRODUCTION Vascular lesions of ovary are very rare, especially ovarian hemangiomas. CASE REPORT – presenting a case of ovarian capillary hemangioma with massive ascites and elevated Ca 125 level. DISCUSSION – Hemangiomas are common in other organs but ovarian hemangioma are very rare despite its rich vascular supply. Here presenting a case of ovarian capillary hemangioma with massive ascites ...

Mature cystic teratoma is the most common benign neoplasm of the ovary, accounting for 27-44% of all ovarian tumors and up to 58% of benign ovarian tumors [1], and is composed of mature-appearing derivatives of two or three embryonal layers [2]. Ectodermal derivatives are observed in almost all mature teratomas [2]. Organized mature neural tissue is a common component. Glial tissue is the most ...

Angioleiomyoma (ALM) is a rare and painful, benign neoplasm that is referred to an uncommon type of leiomyoma originating from smooth muscle cells of arterial and venous walls. ALM is very rarely found in the female genital organs such as uterus or ovary. Herein, we present the case of a huge primary ovarian ALM in a 35 year-old woman, clinically and radiologically mimicking an ovarian fibroma,...

An 80-year-old female presented with one month history of acutely worsening abdominal distention and pain, without features of bowel obstruction. A giant intra-abdominal simple cyst, separate from the ovaries, was seen on imaging. Initial haematological and biochemical investigations, including tumour markers, were normal. At laparotomy, the cystic tumour was discovered to arise from the sigmoi...

while ovarian masses are common findings in gynecology, unusually huge masses are quite rare. however, such cases can still be found today. mismanagement of common complaints in patients can be a leading cause of facing such findings. herein, we introduce a case of a giant ovarian cyst, which was mismanaged in a young virgin female patient. the patient had received gastrointestinal medications ...

BACKGROUND Ovary is the commonest site of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesion, can present in childhood to postmenopausal age group and accounts for the most prevalent cause of hospital admissions. AIM This study was done to analyse the frequency of ovarian lesions their clinico-histological features in a rural set up. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective study of 145 ovarian lesion...

Fourty five patients with ovarian tumours were studied for their sonographic morphological characteristics and were followed up with histopathological report for correlation between most important sonographic features of benign and malignant ovarian tumours. Among different features, thin wall, smooth inner wall structure and anechogenicity or low echogenicity of the lesions were more important...
