The pathological assessment of ovarian neoplasms. III: The malignant "epithelial" tumours.
One thousand common "epithelial" tumours of the ovary were encountered in a 25-yr study period at the King George V Memorial Hospital. These tumours were classified according to the World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) Histological Classification of Ovarian Tumours. In this report a detailed histological assessment of the 298 malignant "epithelial" tumours is presented, including criteria for histological grading and typing. Evidence for the multifocal tumorigenesis of serous tumours and the pathological correlates of endometrioid carcinoma are stressed.
