Ovarian TumorFrom: Heather (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 22 Nov 2000 23:11:13 -0600 (CST)
A few months back I had a laporoscopy done and the following is the pathology report: GROSS Teo fragments of tissue received. One consists of an intact 2.5 X 2.5 X 0.5 cm cyst with a smooth outer surface, and a rooughened inner surface containing serveral small papillary areas ranging from 0.3 to 0.5 cm in maximal diameter. The external surface is painted with blue ink. Some of the blue ink has seeped onto the inner surface of the cyst wall. The cyst is sectioned serially and submitted in toto in "a" to "c". The second tissue fragment measures 3 X 0.8 X1 cm, is homogeneously white on the surface, and has a yellowy cut surface. It grossly resembles an ovarian fragment. It is bisected and submitted in toto "d" and "e'. MICROSCOPICS The grossly described cyst with several small papillary areas on the inner surface is composed of atypical proliferating serous tumour (serous borderline tumour). The majority of the serous proliferation is unicellular, but there are very focal areas of epithelial proliferation, with budding and tufting. No significant cytologic atypia is identified. Numerous psammoma bodies are present. There is no surface serous proliferation identified on the exteranl surface of the cyst. The second tissue fragment contains a hemorrhagic corpus luteum. 1. Atypical proliferating serous tumour. 2. Hemorrhagic corpus luteum. Question for you, what soed this mean and what follow up would you recommend if any? I am 40yrs old and I have had breat cancer 6 years ago. Heather
