Mucinous tumors of the ovary. Ultrastructural studies of mucinous cystadenomas with histogenetic considerations

C M Fenoglio et al. Cancer. 1975 Nov.

Abstract

On the basis of light microscopic and scanning and transmission ultrastructural observations, we have classified benign mucinous ovarian neoplasms into two types: a pure endocervical type and a mixed intestinal endocervical type. We have also reviewed the literature pertinent to the histogenetic origin of the ovarian mucinous cystoma and found convincing support for a mesodermal, coelomic epithelial, rather than a teratomatous, derivation.
