The ovary is an endocrine organ that gives rise to a wide variety of neoplastic and tumorlike nonneoplastic conditions, some of which are associated with endocrine activity. The hormones produced may be steroidal or nonsteroidal. The ovary is unique among endocrine organs in reacting to the presence of nonendocrine tumors within it by abnormal or inappropriate production of sex steroidal hormones. A classification of hormone-producing ovarian lesions is proposed based on the World Health Organization's histologicai typing of ovarian tumors.
卵巢是一个内分泌器官，可引发多种肿瘤性和肿瘤样非肿瘤性疾病，其中一些与内分泌活动有关。所产生的激素可能是甾体类或非甾体类。卵巢在内分泌器官中独一无二，它会因内部存在非内分泌肿瘤而异常或不恰当地产生性甾体激素。基于世界卫生组织对卵巢肿瘤的组织学分类，提出了一种产生激素的卵巢病变分类方法。
