Ovarian Tumors conditions
Mucinous CystadenomaMucinous cystadenoma is a benign ovarian tumor characterized by multilocular cysts filled with mucinous fluid, often causing abdominal distension or pain.Ovarian Tumors (Dysgerminoma)Dysgerminoma is a malignant ovarian germ cell tumor often presenting in young women, characterized by elevated LDH and radiosensitivity.Ovarian Tumors (Fibroma)Ovarian tumors fibroma are benign stromal tumors composed of spindle-shaped fibroblastic cells, often presenting as solid pelvic masses with possible Meigs syndrome.Ovarian Tumors (Granulosa Cell Tumor)Ovarian tumors granulosa cell tumor is a rare sex cord-stromal tumor that produces estrogen and may cause abnormal uterine bleeding or endometrial hyperplasia.Ovarian Tumors (Immature Teratoma)Immature teratoma is a malignant ovarian tumor containing immature neuroectodermal tissue, often affecting young women and requiring prompt diagnosis.Ovarian Tumors (Mature Cystic Teratoma)Mature cystic teratoma is a common benign ovarian tumor containing tissues from all three germ layers, often presenting with a characteristic dermoid cyst on imaging.Ovarian Tumors (Mucinous Carcinoma)Mucinous carcinoma is a subtype of ovarian tumors characterized by mucin-producing epithelial cells, often presenting as large multiloculated cystic masses.Ovarian Tumors (Serous Carcinoma)Serous carcinoma is a common malignant ovarian tumor characterized by papillary structures and psammoma bodies, often presenting with elevated CA-125 levels.Ovarian Tumors (Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumor)Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors are rare ovarian neoplasms producing androgens, often causing virilization and diagnosed by identifying Reinke crystals histologically.Ovarian Tumors (Thecoma)Thecoma ovarian tumors are rare sex cord-stromal tumors often producing estrogen, leading to abnormal uterine bleeding and hormonal symptoms in women.Ovarian Tumors (Yolk Sac Tumor)Ovarian tumors (yolk sac tumor) are malignant germ cell tumors characterized by rapid growth and elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels, often affecting young women.Serous CystadenomaSerous cystadenoma is a benign ovarian tumor characterized by thin-walled cysts filled with clear, watery fluid and lined by cuboidal epithelium.
