We report a case of florid polypoid endometriosis presenting with advanced bulky disease in pelvis with serum CA – 125 levels of 7844U/ml. The extent of tumor, CT scan findings, elevated serum CA – 125 levels were suggestive of ovarian malignancy. Histopathology demonstrated endometrial glands and stroma. Glands were neither crowded nor complex and were separated by a fibromatous stroma that co...

Ovarian steroid cell tumours (not otherwise specified) are rare neoplasms of the ovary and are classified under lipid cell tumours. Their diagnosis can be considered as one of exclusion.

INTRODUCTION Struma ovarii is a rare ovarian tumor, representing 0.5-1% of all ovarian tumors and 2-5% of ovarian teratomas. It is defined as an ovarian teratoma composed mostly of thyroid tissue. The symptoms are nonspecific, and the imaging studies can help in characterize the mass; however, the definitive diagnosis is usually given by the Pathologist. Classically, the treatment is the surgic...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of MMP-14 and MMP-2 during human ovarian follicular development using immunohistochemistry, and the activity of MMP-2 in follicular fluid using zymography. METHODS Ovarian tissue collected from the archives of the Department of Pathology was examined and medical records and histopathology were reviewed. Follicular fluids were co...
