Ovarian endometrioid tumors exhibit the histologic patterns of endometrial tumors, and endometriosis in the ovary suggests these tumors may originate from endometriotic lesions.

The paper discusses endometrioid tumors arising in the ovary, describing the ovary as a primary site for tumors that can show histologic patterns corresponding to the varieties of tumors found in endometrium of the uterine corpus. It argues that because ovarian endometriosis is frequent, it is reasonable to suppose these primary ovarian endometrioid tumors originate from an endometriotic lesion. The major caveat is that the presentation is largely conceptual/pathologic rather than presenting new empirical study data in the excerpt provided. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it links ovarian endometrioid tumors to origin in endometriotic lesions.

Abstract

The substance of my presentation can be contained in two sentences: - I. The ovary can be the site of primary tumours with the histologic pattern of all the varieties of tumours found in endometrium of the uterine corpus. - II. The frequency of endometriosis in the ovary makes it reasonable to suppose that these primary ovarian endometrioid tumours originate in reality in an endometriotic lesion.
