1/4. Parovarian cystadenocarcinoma of low malignant potential.Malignant parovarian tumors are rare, with only 20 cases previously reported. Only eight of these were cystadenocarcinomas of low malignant potential and only two had both mucinous and serous components. In this article, we report the third case of a parovarian cystadenocarcinoma with both serous and mucinous components--A 26-year-old female who was treated by conservative surgery and later carried a pregnancy to term. prognosis and management of these lesions are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cystadenocarcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/4. Primary paraovarian cystadenocarcinoma: clinical and management aspects and literature review.Two cases of primary paraovarian-origin serous cystadenocarcinoma, one invasive and one of low malignant potential, are presented. Both were diagnosed in postmenopausal women and were initially treated surgically. As of this writing, both women have survived 48 months past their initial diagnosis and have no clinically detectable disease. Clinical aspects and management problems of this fairly recently identified and rare entity are discussed and the literature on primary paraovarian malignant epithelial tumors is reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = cystadenocarcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/4. Parovarian cystadenocarcinoma of low-malignant potential.In the world's literature, only 16 patients with parovarian malignancies have been described, five of which have been of low-malignant potential. All but one of these low-malignant potential lesions have been serous tumors. This is the second low-malignant potential parovarian tumor to be described with mucinous and serous components as well as hobnail cells. These tumors occur almost exclusively in young women, yet they are so rare that no treatment plan has been developed. We propose that until more data becomes available, these low-malignant potential lesions be treated as are their ovarian counterparts with staging laparotomy and surgery which conserves reproductive functioning being appropriate for women who meet the rigid clinical and histologic criteria for a very early potentially nonaggressive tumor, and complete extirpative surgery for those who do not.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.66666666666667keywords = cystadenocarcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/4. Endometrioid-type cystadenocarcinoma arising in the mesosalpinx.A case is presented of what is believed to be the first reported instance of endometrioid-type cystadenocarcinoma discovered in a paraovarian cyst.
