'''Serous cystadenoma of the ovary''' is a common benign finding in the [[ovary]]. | |||
It is also known as ''ovarian [[serous cystadenoma]]''. It is unrelated the the [[pancreatic serous cystadenoma]]. | |||
'''Serous cystadenofibroma''' and '''adenofibroma''' can be considered variants, and are also dealt with in this article. | |||
==General== | |||
*Benign. | |||
*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]]. | |||
==Gross== | |||
*Usually unilocular. | |||
==Microscopic== | |||
Features: | |||
*Simple epithelium with cilia - '''key feature'''. | |||
**Cell morphology: columnar, cuboidal or flatted. | |||
Note: | |||
*May have calcifications - uncommon.<ref name=pmid15834205>{{Cite journal | last1 = Okada | first1 = S. | last2 = Ohaki | first2 = Y. | last3 = Inoue | first3 = K. | last4 = Kawamura | first4 = T. | last5 = Hayashi | first5 = T. | last6 = Kato | first6 = T. | last7 = Kumazaki | first7 = T. | title = Calcifications in mucinous and serous cystic ovarian tumors. | journal = J Nippon Med Sch | volume = 72 | issue = 1 | pages = 29-33 | month = Feb | year = 2005 | doi = | PMID = 15834205 | URL = https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jnms/72/1/72_1_29/_pdf }}</ref> | |||

*Serous cystadenofibroma. | |||
*Adenofibroma. | |||
