Morphology and classification of ovarian neoplasms in F344 rats and (C57BL/6 X C3H)F1 mice. 1987

R H Alison, and K T Morgan, and J K Haseman, and G A Boorman

For the updating of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) classification system for rat and mouse ovarian tumors, all the primary ovarian tumors from the archives of the National Cancer Institute and NTP Carcinogenesis Testing Programs were reviewed. The relative frequency and principal diagnostic features of 204 ovarian tumors from 39,851 female F344 rats and of 587 ovarian tumors from 41,102 female (C57BL/6 X C3H)F1 (B6C3F1) mice were described. The most frequently observed neoplasms in F344 rats were malignant granulosa cell tumors (29% of primary rat ovarian neoplasms observed), benign undifferentiated sex cord-stromal tumors (26%), benign granulosa cell tumors (16%), and benign Sertoli cell tumors (7%). The most frequent neoplasms in B6C3F1 mice were cystadenomas (24%), tubulostromal adenomas (24%), benign granulosa cell tumors (21%), and benign teratomas (8%). Ovarian neoplasms were not significantly related to treatment in rats. Tubulostromal adenomas, benign and malignant granulosa cell tumors, and benign teratomas were significantly more frequent in treated mice than in controls.

D010051 Ovarian Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the OVARY. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. They are classified according to the tissue of origin, such as the surface EPITHELIUM, the stromal endocrine cells, and the totipotent GERM CELLS.

D002822 Choriocarcinoma A malignant metastatic form of trophoblastic tumors. Unlike the HYDATIDIFORM MOLE, choriocarcinoma contains no CHORIONIC VILLI but rather sheets of undifferentiated cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts (TROPHOBLASTS). It is characterized by the large amounts of CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN produced. Tissue origins can be determined by DNA analyses: placental (fetal) origin or non-placental origin (CHORIOCARCINOMA, NON-GESTATIONAL). Choriocarcinomas
D003536 Cystadenocarcinoma A malignant neoplasm derived from glandular epithelium, in which cystic accumulations of retained secretions are formed. The neoplastic cells manifest varying degrees of anaplasia and invasiveness, and local extension and metastases occur. Cystadenocarcinomas develop frequently in the ovaries, where pseudomucinous and serous types are recognized. (Stedman, 25th ed) Cystadenocarcinomas
D003537 Cystadenoma A benign neoplasm derived from glandular epithelium, in which cystic accumulations of retained secretions are formed. In some instances, considerable portions of the neoplasm, or even the entire mass, may be cystic. (Stedman, 25th ed) Cystadenomas
D005260 Female Females
D006106 Granulosa Cell Tumor A neoplasm composed entirely of GRANULOSA CELLS, occurring mostly in the OVARY. In the adult form, it may contain some THECA CELLS. This tumor often produces ESTRADIOL and INHIBIN. The excess estrogen exposure can lead to other malignancies in women and PRECOCIOUS PUBERTY in girls. In rare cases, granulosa cell tumors have been identified in the TESTES.
