==Serous cystadenoma of the ovary==
*[[AKA]] ''ovarian [[serous cystadenoma]]''.
*[[AKA]] ''ovarian serous cystadenoma''.
===General===
*Related to ''adenofibroma'' and ''serous cystadenofibroma''.
*Benign.
{{Main|Serous cystadenoma of the ovary}}
*Very common.
*'''Not''' related to the [[serous cystadenoma of the pancreas]].
*Thought to arise from a ''cortical inclusion cyst'' that has undergone Muellerian metaplasia<ref name=pmid11207821>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Feeley | first1 = KM. | last2 = Wells | first2 = M. | title = Precursor lesions of ovarian epithelial malignancy. | journal = Histopathology | volume = 38 | issue = 2 | pages = 87-95 | month = Feb | year = 2001 | doi =  | PMID = 11207821 }}</ref><ref name=pmid19360296>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Okamoto | first1 = S. | last2 = Okamoto | first2 = A. | last3 = Nikaido | first3 = T. | last4 = Saito | first4 = M. | last5 = Takao | first5 = M. | last6 = Yanaihara | first6 = N. | last7 = Takakura | first7 = S. | last8 = Ochiai | first8 = K. | last9 = Tanaka | first9 = T. | title = Mesenchymal to epithelial transition in the human ovarian surface epithelium focusing on inclusion cysts. | journal = Oncol Rep | volume = 21 | issue = 5 | pages = 1209-14 | month = May | year = 2009 | doi =  | PMID = 19360296 }}</ref> - see [[mesothelial inclusion cyst]].
