MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF OVARIAN NEOPLASMS

Abstract

The article explores the morphological features of ovarian neoplasms that belong to benign tumors and are at the borderline between benign and malignant forms (borderline neoplasms). The microscopic appearance of such tumors is often complex and differs from typical benign and malignant neoplasms, including the presence of papillary structures, various types of epithelium, and mixed pleural formations. Borderline neoplasms may exhibit some signs of cellular atypia, such as changes in cell nuclei and uneven nuclear staining. Invasive growth can also be detected in the surrounding tissues, and increased mitotic activity may indicate potential malignancy. Cystic formations and the presence of specific morphological features, such as intracavity septation and solid areas within the cyst, can also be observed in borderline neoplasms of the ovary. The description of these morphological characteristics is approximate, and an accurate diagnosis of borderline neoplasms requires a comprehensive analysis of morphological data, clinical information, and laboratory results. Knowledge of these features can aid physicians in determining the diagnosis and choosing the most appropriate treatment for patients with suspected ovarian neoplasms.
