title: A benign serous ovarian cystadenoma studied by chromosome and quantitative DNA analysis.
abstract: In a benign serous ovarian cystadenoma studied by chromosome and quantitative DNA analysis, a diploid mode was found in cells from the cystic wall. The cells from the cystic fluid, however, showed both a diploid and a triploid population. The latter may represent a fist step into malignant transformation.
