title: [Pathological anatomy and cellular biology of cancers of the ovary].
abstract: Four tumor types are considered in current classifications of ovarian tumors: epithelial tumors, stromal and sex cord tumors, germ cell tumors, and secondary tumors. Epithelial tumors represent 85% of ovarian tumors. They are classified as benign, of borderline malignancy or malignant. In this group, serious tumors are the most frequently observed tumors. Dynamic approach of ovarian tumors allows to assess the question of the monoclonality of these tumors, to study their stimulation by growth factors, to study their spread and their potential of tissue invasion, and finally to study the factors of response to treatment.
