Microscopic evaluation

Ovarian tumors by incidence and risk of ovarian cancer[1]

Look for the most common types of ovarian tumor:

Type Subtype Relative incidence[2] Comments Micrograph
Germ cell tumor Dermoid cyst (teratoma) 46% Cystic, with elements of all 3 germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm).[3]
Hair follicles.
Immature teratoma 2.5% A teratoma that contains anaplastic immature elements, and is often synonymous with malignant teratoma.[4] Histopathology of immature teratoma of the ovary.jpg
Other germ cell tumors 3.0% Others mainly include dysgerminoma, yolk sac tumor, struma ovarii and squamous cell carcinoma arising from a dermoid cyst, and malignant mixed germ cell tumor.[2]
Histopathology of yolk sac tumor with Schiller–Duval bodies.[5]
Surface epithelial-stromal tumor Serous tumor 25% Benign serous tumors of the right ovarian cyst are thinwalled unilocular cysts that are lined by ciliated pseudostratified cuboidal or columnar epithelium.[6] Histopathology of lining of a benign serous tumor of the ovary.jpg
Mucinous tumor 15% Benign mucinous tumors of the ovary consist of simple, nonstratified columnar epithelium with basally-located hyperchromatic nuclei and resemble gastric foveolar epithelium.[6] Histopathology of lining of a benign mucinous tumor of the ovary.jpg
Endometrioid tumor 1% Tubular glands, resembling endometrium.[7] Histopathology of well-differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma.png
Other surface-epithelial tumors 1.5% Others include mainly malignant mixed mullerian tumor, Brenner tumor and mixed epithelial tumor.[2]
Sex cord-stromal tumor Ovarian fibroma 1.5% Spindle-shaped fibroblastic cells and abundant collagen.[8] Histopathology of an ovarian fibroma.jpg
Adult granulosa cell tumor 1% Small, bland, cuboidal to polygonal cells in various patterns.[9] Grooved, coffee bean-like nuclei.[10] Histopathology of adult granulosa cell tumor.jpg
Leydig cell tumor <1%
  • Diffuse architecture (may also be nodular with fibrous bands)[11]
  • Polygonal cells with abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm[11]
  • Uniform round nuclei and prominent central nucleoli[11]
Histopathology of leydig cell tumor of the ovary, high mag, annotated.png
Other sex cord-stromal tumors 1% Others include mainly juvenile granulosa cell tumor, thecoma and sclerosing stromal tumor[2]
Secondary/metastatic) tumor 2% Usually from breast cancer, colon cancer, endometrial cancer, stomach cancer or cervical cancer.[12]

Differential diagnosis

Bilateral tumors

In cases of a tumor in both ovaries, of presumable ovarian origin, the largest tumor is generally designated as the "primary tumor" if needed (generally as a mandatory entry in synoptic reports of malignant tumors). ((Add a comment that "The largest tumor is designated as the primary".))

Staging

Also include any peritoneal fluid sample.

Perform staging for malignant tumors, as follows:[14]

Primary tumor (T)
TNM FIGO
TX Primary tumor cannot be assessed
T0 No evidence of primary tumor
T1 I Tumor confined to the ovaries or fallopian tubes
T1a IA Tumor limited to one ovary (capsule intact) or fallopian tube; no tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface; no malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings
T1b IB Tumor limited to both ovaries (capsule intact) or fallopian tubes; no tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface; no malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings
T1c IC Tumor limited to one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes with any of the following:
T1c1 IC1 Surgical spill
T1c2 IC2 Capsule ruptured before surgery or tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface
T1c3 IC3 Malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings
T2 II Tumor involves one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes with pelvic extension (below pelvic brim) or peritoneal cancer
T2a IIA Extension and/or implants on uterus and/or tube(s) and/or ovaries
T2b IIB Extension and/or implants on other pelvic tissues
T3 III Tumor involves one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes, or primary peritoneal cancer, with microscopically confirmed peritoneal metastasis outside the pelvis and/or metastases to the retroperitoneal (pelvic and/or para-aortic) lymph nodes
IIIA Positive retroperitoneal lymph nodes and/or microscopic metastasis beyond pelvis
IIIA1 Positive retroperitoneal lymph nodes only (cytologically or histologically proven)
IIIA1 (i) Metastasis up to 10 mm in greatest dimension
IIIA1 (ii) Metastasis more than 10 mm in greatest dimension
T3a IIIA2 Microscopic extrapelvic (above the pelvic brim) peritoneal involvement, with or without positive retroperitoneal lymph nodes
T3b IIIB Macroscopic peritoneal metastasis beyond pelvis up to 2 cm in greatest dimension, with or without metastasis to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes
T3c IIIC Macroscopic peritoneal metastasis beyond the pelvis >2 cm in greatest dimension including extension to liver capsule or spleen without parenchymal involvement of those organs and with or without positive retroperitoneal lymph nodes
Regional lymph nodes (N)
TNM FIGO
NX Regional lymph nodes cannot be assessed
N0 No regional lymph node metastasis
N0(i+) Isolated tumor cells in regional lymph node(s) ≤0.2 mm
N1 IIIA1 Positive (histologically confirmed) retroperitoneal lymph nodes
N1a IIIAIi Metastasis ≤10 mm in greatest dimension
N1b IIIAIii Metastasis more than 10 mm in greatest dimension
Distant metastasis (M)
TNM FIGO
M0 No distant metastasis
M1 IV Distant metastasis including cytology-positive pleural effusion; liver or splenic parenchymal involvement; extra-abdominal organ involvement including inguinal lymph nodes; transmural intestinal involvement
M1a IVA Pleural effusion with positive cytology
M1b IVB Liver or splenic parenchymal metastases; metastases to extra-abdominal organs (including inguinal lymph nodes and lymph nodes outside the abdominal cavity); transmural involvement of intestine
