Burkitt's lymphoma is a rare non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which can occasionally involve the ovary and may cause confusion for the clinician since its presentation might mimic other much more frequent tumors. We present a case of a 23-year-old woman with sporadic Burkitt's lymphoma presented as advanced ovarian cancer with bilateral ovarian masses, peritoneal carcinomatosis, ascites, and marked eleva...

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 ...

Background: The genetic control of tumour progression presents the opportunity for bioinformatics and gene expression data to be used as a basis for tumour grading. The development of a genetic signature based on microarray data allows for the development of personalised chemotherapeutic regimes. Method: ONCOMINE was utilised to create a genetic signature for ovarian serous adenocarcinoma and t...

Ovarian fibroma is the most common benign solid tumors of the ovary, commonly misdiagnosed as uterine fibromaor as malignant ovarian tumors. It occurs generally in older perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Occasionally large fibromas may undergo torsion causing acute abdominal pain. Doppler Ultrasonographyimaging is the choice study. CT and MRI are often needed for further characterization...

Sex cord tumor with annular tubules (SCTATs) is a relatively rare ovarian neoplasm often having a syndromic association with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). Other associations described with this rare neoplasm include adenoma malignum of cervix, Turners syndrome, dysgerminoma, gonadoblastoma, endometrial carcinoma, and endometriosis of fallopian tube. We describe for the first time to the best of...

Granulosa cell tumor, a sex cord stromal estrogen secreting tumor presents with vaginal bleeding and is seen in all ages. It accounts for <5% of ovarian neoplasm. We reported rare case granulosa postmenopausal woman undergoing staging laparotomy total abdominal hysterectomy bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy malignant which was complicated by torsion, rupture hemorrhagic ascitis. Any should aro...

A capillary-cavernous hemangioma in an obturator lymph node was found incidentally in a 64 year-old woman who had undergone unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and lymphadenectomy for an ovarian neoplasm. Vascular tumors of lymph nodes are briefly reviewed including eight previously described nodal capillary-cavernous hemangiomas. The association with other splanchnic hemangiomas is pointed out an...
