Paraovarian Cysts of Neoplastic Origin Are Underreported

چکیده
INTRODUCTION We suspected that paraovarian cysts of neoplastic origin may be underreported. This study was designed to evaluate our data on the pathologic characteristics of cystic lesions located in the paraovarian area and compare them with previous studies that claimed the vast majority of these lesions were simple paraovarian cysts and only few (1.69% to 5%) were neoplastic ones. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of the clinical, surgical, ultrasonographic, and pathologic features of 59 women operated on for cystic paraovarian lesions at our institution from January 2002 to April 2006. RESULTS Forty-four women (74.6%) had simple paraovarian cysts, and 15 (25.4%) had benign neoplastic paraovarian cysts (7 cystadenomas and 8 cystadenofibromas). There were no cases of malignant tumor. There was no difference in the clinical presentation of the women with either type of cyst. Preoperative ultrasound examinations (n=50) demonstrated more complex cysts with internal papillary projections in the group with neoplastic paraovarian cysts (41.7% compared with 7.9%, P=0.01). The macroscopic pathologic examinations revealed a significantly increased percentage of gross papillary excrescences in the group of neoplastic paraovarian cysts (10/15, 66.7%) compared with the group with simple paraovarian cysts (3/44, 6.8%, P<0.01). Other pathologic features did not differ between the 2 study groups. DISCUSSION Our analysis revealed a higher percentage of paraovarian cysts of neoplastic origin ( approximately 25%) than the figures quoted in most previous reports. CONCLUSION Intraoperative inspection for diagnosing the cyst type and more frequent use of endobag devices to avoid spillage of cystic fluid are recommended.

Ultrasound diagnostic of mesonephric paraovarian cyst - case report
Paraovarian cysts are a rare pathology, constituting 10-20% of the adnexal masses. The origin can be represented by paramesonephric ducts (Hydatid cysts of Morgagni), vestiges of mesonephric ducts also represented by mesothelium, or neoplastic (cystadenomas or cystadenofibromas) that are mostly benign. Borderline or malignant paraovarian tumors are encountered less often. This article presents ...

BACKGROUND Paraovarian cysts are common and are generally benign; however, they are frequently misdiagnosed as being of ovarian origin. Conversely, paraovarian tumors of borderline malignancy are extremely rare. Especially, no cases of spontaneous rupture have been reported, and all previous reports had normal serum carbohydrate antigen (CA) 125 level. As for imaging findings, the presence of p...
