The clinicorpathological analysis of ovary adenofibroma and ovary cystadenofibroma / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the morbidity, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, the pathological classification, character and special behaviour of transformation and the tendency of development of ovarian adenofibroma and cystadenofibroma, so as to provide information for clinical work. Methods 7 patients of ovarian adenofibroma and cystadenofibroma were retrospectively analysed on their onset age, clinical manifestations, ultrasonographic findings, pelvic examination and postsurgical pathology. Results All the seven tumors were serous. The ultrasonography revealed a cystic mass in the overy or near the overy, with clear boundary, and regular in shape. Three tumors were papillary (with rich signal of circulation in the papillary wall in two cases). In one case there was rich circulatory signal in the wall of the cyst. Three tumors had neither papilla on the wall of the cyst, nor blood signal. Pathological examination showed that 4 tumors were benign, and three were borderline. Conclusion The tumor is more prevalent in women of childbearing age. Unilateral tumor is more common than bilateral. The tumor is mainly serous, most of them are benign, and malignant tumors are rare. Ultrasonograply may be helpful to defining the nature and differentiation of the tumor
