title: Clinicopathology of malignant surface epithelial neoplasms of the ovary.
abstract: Because clinical outcome in patients with malignant surface epithelial neoplasms (M-SENs) of the ovary is highly varied, stratification of patients into favorable and unfavorable prognostic groups is an important clinicopathologic function. This chapter analyzes the various prognostic factors, with an emphasis on M-SENs of grades II and III.
