cystadenoma
benign adenoma containing cysts
follicular cyst
benign cyst within the ovary that may occur and disappear on a cyclic basis
dermoid tumor
benign tumor composed of hair, muscle, teeth, and fat
Meigs' syndrome
benign tumor of the ovary associated with ascites and pleural effusion
mucinous cystadenoma
benign tumor of the ovary that contains thin-walled multilocular cysts
endometriosis
condition that occurs when functioning endometrial tissue invades other sites outside the uterus
paraovarian cyst
cystic structure that lies adjacent to the ovary
polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
endocrine disorder associated with chronic anovulation
surface epithelial-stromal tumors
gynecologic tumors that arise from the surface epithelium and cover the ovary and the underlying stroma
androgen
hormone that promotes masculine characteristics
ovarian carcinoma
malignant tumor of the ovary that may spread beyond the ovary and metastasize to other organs via the peritoneal channels
mucinous cystadenocarcinoma
malignant tumor of the ovary with multilocular cysts
cystadenocarcinoma
malignant tumor that forms cysts
serous cystadenocarcinoma
most common type of ovarian carcinoma; may be bilateral with multilocular cysts
theca-lutein cysts
multilocular cysts that occur in patients with hyperstimulation (hydatidiform mole and infertility patients)
ovarian torsion
partial or complete rotation of the ovarian pedicle on its axis
pulsatility index (PI)
peak-systolic velocity minus end-diastolic velocity divided by the mean velocity
resistive index (RI)
peak-systolic velocity minus the end-diastolic velocity divided by the peak-systolic velocity
functional cyst
results from the normal function of the ovary
Serous cystadenoma
second most common benign tumor of the ovary; unilocular or multilocular
corpus luteum cyst
small endocrine structure that develops within a ruptured ovarian follicle and secretes progesterone and estrogen
simple ovarian cyst
smooth, well-defined cystic structure that is filled completely with fluid
estrogen
the female hormone produced by the ovary that initiates preparation of the endometrium of the uterus.
