Approximately 60% of all ovarian tumors are epithelial in origin, and these neoplasms are thought to arise from the ovarian surface epithelium or small epithelial inclusion cysts. Surface epithelium is capable of differentiating into serous (tubal), mucinous, endometrioid or transitional epithelium. Serous and mucinous cystadenomas are the most common epithelial tumors and, together, account fo...

Mixed germ cell tumours of the ovary are malignant neoplasms of the ovary comprising of two or more types of germ cell components. Most of the malignant mixed germ cell tumours consists of dysgerminoma accompanied by endodermal sinus tumours, immature teratoma or choriocarcinoma. There are only few case reports of mixed germ cell tumours with different combinations of malignant components. We r...

Kras mutation is a common phenomenon in many human neoplasms. We aimed to assess the Kras mutational status along the histological continuum from normal ovaries to the development of benign, borderline and malignant ovarian mucinous neoplasms. We analyzed 41 cases of malignant, 10 cases of borderline, 7 cases of benign mucinous ovarian tumors and 7 cases of normal ovarian tissue. The prevalence...

The spectrum of ovarian pathologies embraces wide age range among females because the risk developing lesion starts from birth and follows diverse patterns through-out life.1,2 rate development complications, recurrence, progression to malignancy, morbidity mortality, also varies according presentation various pathologies.3,4,5 prevalence cystic lesions ovary is more in reproductive group as co...

PURPOSE The cancer-testis (CT) family of antigens is expressed in a variety of malignant neoplasms and is silent in normal tissues, except for the testis. Expression of two members of this family, MAGE-A4 and NY-ESO-1, has been described in melanomas, germ cell tumors, certain carcinomas and sarcomas, and more recently in uterine neoplasms. The objective of this study was to evaluate the extent...

INTRODUCTION Ovarian tumors are the least common cause of sexual precocity in girls. Mixed germ cell-sex cord-stromal tumors associated with a yolk sac tumor of the ovary are rare neoplasms, of which only a small number of well-documented cases have been described so far. Here, we report precocious puberty in a four-year-old Egyptian girl caused by a mixed germ cell-sex cord-stromal tumor assoc...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist treatment for ovarian cysts, which are developed during tamoxifen use due breast cancer. STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort including patients who were under stage I-III cancer and administered leuprolide acetate cysts with low malignancy risk between 2012-2020. RESULTS: Leuprolide tot...
