The clinical and morphological aspects of 32 ovarian tumors of the type considered to be of mesonephric origin have been studied and compared with carcinoma of the endometrium and carcinomas generally considered to arise from the surface co…
A primary theca granulosa cell tumor of the adrenal is reported. The tumor presented as a palpable, 1,000-g left suprarenal mass. Adrenal tissue was present in the tumor capsule. The renal parenchyma was not invaded. Both ovaries had been p…
Two hundred and thirty cases of primary ovarian carcinoma derived from the surface epithelium of the ovary were reviewed over a 30-year period ending in 1960. Of these, 37 (16%) were classified as endometrioid and 12 (5%) as clear cell carc…
Ovarian adenocarcinoma of mesonephric type is a well-differentiated carcinoma composed of clear or hobnail-type cells resembling renal carcinoma. Forty cases were studied. Although there is no proof of origin from mesonephric remnants in or…
A clinicopathologic study of 75 endometrioid carcinomas of the ovary was carried out. Thirty-six of the patients were in clinical Stages I and II and 39 in Stages III and IV. There were 49 histologically “pure” endometrioid carcinomas. the …
Eight cases of “hypernephroid” clear cell carcinoma of the ovary are reported. As in the uterine cervix, our findings appear to indicate that clear cell carcinoma of the ovary is a low-grade malignancy which is associated with good prognosi…
A 42-year-old woman underwent partial resection of inoperable stromal endo-metriosis arising in pelvic endometriosis. Death of massive tumor followed 16 years 5 months later. Analysis of this and 43 reported cases of extra-uterine Müllerian…
This report documents a rare case of primary adenocarcinoma (adenoacanthoma) of the rectovaginal septum arising from an area of endometriosis. It is particularly interesting that successive biopsies revealed the evolutionary development of …
Two patients with highly malignant mixed mesodermal (müllerian) tumor of the ovary are presented. The tumor has the same histologic characteristics in the ovary as in its more common endometrial location, featuring a narrow range of epithel…
A review of the pathologic features of 17 unselected and 11 selected cases of ovarian “mesonephroma,” characterized by clear and hobnail-shaped cells, disclosed a high incidence of pelvic endometriosis in the unselected series, frequent adm…
A case of adenocarcinoma developing in endometrial and adenomyotic epithelium is presented. The pattern of development of the carcinoma is discussed in relation to the histogenesis of adenomyosis. The authors conclude that the malignant tra…
Clomiphene was administered continuously in a dose of 100 to 200 mg daily for 16 to 18 months to 6 patients (5 approaching menopause and one postmenopausal) having endometrial hyperplasia with a presenting complaint of irregular and profuse…
