Approximately 60% of all ovarian tumors are epithelial in origin, and these neoplasms are thought to arise from the ovarian surface epithelium or small epithelial inclusion cysts. Surface epithelium is capable of differentiating into serous (tubal), mucinous, endometrioid or transitional epithelium. Serous and mucinous cystadenomas are the most common epithelial tumors and, together, account for about 30% of ovarian tumors We report a case of a 29-year-old lady P1L1 presenting with the chief complaints of pain abdomen off and on since the last 1 year. Ultrasonography revealed normal uterus with enlarged right ovary, with a cyst measuring 46 mm × 36 mm × 55 mm showing internal echoes with volume of 50 cc., left ovary also enlarged with multiple well-defined cysts measuring 34 mm × 44 mm × 69 mm with volume of 55 cc and the largest cyst measuring 37 mm. Bilateral ovarian cystectomy was done and sent for histopathology. To our surprise, both the ovaries revealed different histopathological pictures, with the right ovary revealing serous cystadenoma and the left ovary showing mucinous cystadenoma. This rare occurrence has never been reported so far in the literature to the best of our knowledge.
所有卵巢肿瘤中约60%起源于上皮组织,这些肿瘤被认为起源于卵巢表面上皮或小的上皮包涵囊肿。表面上皮能够分化为浆液性(输卵管型)、黏液性、子宫内膜样或移行上皮。浆液性和黏液性囊腺瘤是最常见的上皮性肿瘤,二者合占卵巢肿瘤的约30%。我们报告一例29岁女性,孕1产1,自1年前起间断出现腹痛为主诉。超声检查显示子宫正常,右卵巢增大,有一个大小为46 mm×36 mm×55 mm的囊肿,内部有回声,体积为50 cc,左卵巢也增大,有多个边界清晰的囊肿,大小为34 mm×44 mm×69 mm,体积为55 cc,最大的囊肿为37 mm。行双侧卵巢囊肿切除术并送组织病理学检查。令我们惊讶的是,双侧卵巢呈现出不同的组织病理学表现,右卵巢为浆液性囊腺瘤,左卵巢为黏液性囊腺瘤。据我们所知,这种罕见情况在文献中迄今从未有过报道。
