Cytopathology of serous neoplasia of the ovary and the peritoneum: differential diagnosis from mesothelial proliferations
Abstract
Serous neoplasia of the ovary ranges from benign adenomas through serous borderline tumors to invasive serous adenocarcinoma. This spectrum of neoplasia is at least partially reflected in the cytomorphologic features of the lesions. The objective of this study is to review the cytopathology of serous neoplasia of the ovary. In addition, cytologic features of serous surface papillary carcinoma and its distinction from peritoneal mesothelial proliferations are discussed.
