This study surveyed ovarian cortices from 470 patients, identifying epithelial inclusions in 178 cases, with mucinous inclusions showing a higher transformation rate into cysts and tumors than serous or endometrial inclusions.

Abstract

The ovaries of 470 patients obtained for various indications at operation revealed 178 with 193 ovarian cysts and tumors - including 63 serous, 23 endometrial, and 27 mucinous - as well as 103 with tubal (serous), 35 with endometrial, and 2 with cervical (mucinous) epithelial inclusions. A very high frequency of transformation of mucinous epithelial inclusions into cysts and tumors contrasted with about 40% similar transformation of serous and endometrial inclusions into cysts and tumors.
