Three cases of epidermoid cyst of the ovary are presented. In each case small epithelial nests were found in the wall of the cyst, which, on serial section, proved to be focally cystic with mucin and keratin debris in their lumens. A comparative study of these epithelial nests, Walthard nests, and the epithelial components of a Brenner tumor revealed striking morphologic similarities. The findings suggest that epidermoid cysts originate from epithelial cell nests of the type encountered in Brenner tumors.
本文报告了3例卵巢表皮样囊肿。在每例囊肿壁中均发现小上皮巢，经连续切片证实，这些上皮巢呈局灶性囊肿，腔内含有粘蛋白和角蛋白碎片。对这些上皮巢、瓦尔塔德巢以及勃勒纳瘤的上皮成分进行的比较研究显示出显著的形态学相似性。这些发现提示表皮样囊肿起源于勃勒纳瘤中所见类型的上皮细胞巢。
