Mature cystic ovarian teratoma
Ovarian dermoid cyst and mature cystic ovarian teratoma are terms often used interchangeably to refer to the most common ovarian neoplasm. These slow-growing tumours contain elements from multiple germ cell layers and can be assessed with ultrasound or MRI.
Terminology
Although they have very...

Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a common, chronic gynaecological condition defined as the presence of functional endometrial glands and stroma-like lesions outside the uterus. It manifests in three ways: superficial (peritoneal) disease, ovarian disease (endometriomas), and deep endometriosis.
Endometriosis i...

Arcuate uterus
An arcuate uterus is a mildly variant shape of the uterus. It is technically one of the Müllerian duct anomalies, but is often classified as a normal variant. It is the uterine anomaly that is least commonly associated with reproductive failure. Arcuate uterus can be characterised with ultrasoun...

Endometrioma
Endometriomas, also known as chocolate cysts or endometriotic cysts, are a localised form of endometriosis and are usually within the ovary. They are readily diagnosed on ultrasound, with most demonstrating classical radiographic features.
Epidemiology
These occur in up to 10% of women of rep...
Article
Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis (or uterine adenomyosis) is a common uterine condition of ectopic endometrial tissue in the myometrium, sometimes considered a spectrum of endometriosis. Although most commonly asymptomatic, it may present with menorrhagia and dysmenorrhoea.
Pelvic imaging (i.e. ultrasound, MRI) may...
Article
Ovarian thecoma
Ovarian thecomas are benign ovarian tumours of sex cord / stromal (mesenchymal) origin. They are thought to account for approximately 0.5-1% of all ovarian tumours. As ovarian thecomas secrete oestrogen, they are described as functional ovarian tumours.
Epidemiology
They typically present in o...
Article
Hydrosalpinx
Hydrosalpinx is a descriptive term and refers to a fluid-filled dilatation of the fallopian tube. If the fluid is infected, i.e. pus, then it is a pyosalpinx; if bloody, then haematosalpinx.
Clinical presentation
Patients may be asymptomatic or may present with pelvic pain or infertility.
Pat...

Ovarian mucinous cystadenoma
Mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary is at the benign end of the spectrum of mucin-containing epithelial ovarian tumours.
Epidemiology
The estimated peak incidence is at around 30-50 years of age.
They comprise approximately 80% of mucinous ovarian tumours and 20-25% of all benign ovarian tumou...
Article
Pyosalpinx
Pyosalpinx refers to a fallopian tube that is filled, and often distended, with pus.
Pathology
A pyosalpinx often tends to be a complication of background pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Inflammation results in tubal and peritubal adhesions with superimposed obstruction of the fimbrial end....

Haematosalpinx
A haematosalpinx refers to intraluminal blood within the fallopian tube (often dilated).

Ovarian serous cystadenoma
Ovarian serous cystadenomas are a type of benign ovarian epithelial tumour at the benign end of the spectrum of ovarian serous tumours.
Terminology
Serous ovarian tumours are traditionally described with a "cyst-" prefix because of their primarily cystic composition, e.g. cystadenoma, cystaden...
Article
Ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma
Ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma is the malignant form of ovarian serous tumour, the most common type of ovarian epithelial tumour. It is the most common type of ovarian malignancy.
Increasingly, high-grade serous carcinoma and low-grade serous carcinoma are recognised as distinct tumour types...
Article
Ovarian mucinous tumours
Ovarian mucinous tumours are a subgroup of ovarian epithelial tumours. They represent 10-15% of all ovarian tumours and ~10% of all malignant ovarian tumours. They are subdivided according to their malignant potential and clinical behaviour into:
ovarian mucinous cystadenoma
ovarian borde...
Article
Ovarian cystic neoplasms
Ovarian cystic neoplasms can be either benign or malignant and can arise from epithelial, stromal, or germ cell components. In general, the risk of malignancy in unilocular cystic tumours <10 cm in women over the age of 50 years is thought to be low 3,4.

Ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma
Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary is a rare malignant ovarian mucinous tumour. This type can account for 5-10% of all ovarian mucinous tumours. It is a type of ovarian epithelial tumour.
Pathology
Retrospective studies have suggested that many mucinous carcinomas initially diagnosed as...
Article
Sclerosing stromal tumour of the ovary
Sclerosing stromal tumour (SST) of the ovary is a rare ovarian neoplasm. It is considered a subtype of ovarian sex cord / stromal tumour and is included in the fibroma-thecoma group of ovarian tumours 9.
Epidemiology
It occurs predominantly in young women and its incidence peaks around the 2nd...
Article
Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour
Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumours (SLCT), also known as ovarian androblastomas, are a subtype of ovarian sex cord-stromal tumour.
Epidemiology
They are rare and only account for ~0.5% of all ovarian tumours. While they can present at any age, they typically present <30 years old, with a mean...
Article
Ovarian epithelial tumours
Ovarian epithelial tumours account for the majority of all ovarian tumours (60-70%) and their malignant forms represent >90% of ovarian cancers 1. They can range from benign to highly malignant tumours.
Epidemiology
There is a difference in the frequency of ovarian tumour subtypes depending on...
