National Toxicology Program, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709.

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) classification system for rat and mouse ovarian tumors is presented. The classification system is based on previous classification systems and on a review of all the primary ovarian tumors from the archives of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and NTP Carcinogenesis Testing Programs. The relative frequency and principal diagnostic features of 204 ovarian tumors from 39,851 female F344 rats and 587 ovarian tumors from 41,102 female B6C3F1 mice are 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%).

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.

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
D004407 Dysgerminoma A malignant ovarian neoplasm, thought to be derived from primordial germ cells of the sexually undifferentiated embryonic gonad. It is the counterpart of the classical seminoma of the testis, to which it is both grossly and histologically identical. Dysgerminomas comprise 16% of all germ cell tumors but are rare before the age of 10, although nearly 50% occur before the age of 20. They are generally considered of low-grade malignancy but may spread if the tumor extends through its capsule and involves lymph nodes or blood vessels.

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.
