Endocrine Tumors of the Ovary

  • Chapter
Gynecological Tumors

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Pathology ((CT PATHOLOGY,volume 85))

Abstract

This chapter will emphasize aspects of the pathology of functioning ovarian tumors that have appeared in the literature of the last 10–15 years, with particular attention to problems in differential diagnosis. Since there is important recent information concerning a variety of ovarian neoplasms with paraendocrine manifestations, tumors in this category will also be discussed.
