[Distribution of lectin-receptors in ovarian cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma].
55 cases of ovarian cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma were investigated with a panel of twelve various lectins and ABC technique. Results showed that RCA and WGA reacted with all the tumors, indicating that these two lectins are possibly functional differential markers of both ovarian mucinous and serous tumors. LCA, DBA and SJA might be of considerable help in differential diagnosis of serous cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma. PSA probably was a marker indicating malignant change of mucinous cystadenmas. Since there were different reactivities in mucinous and serous cystadenoma, SJA, DBA and SBA might be considered as the functional markers in differentiating these two different types of ovarian cystadenoma.
