Ultrastructural observations of the so-called strumal carcinoid of the ovary. 1977

E J Livnat, and A Scommegna, and W Recant, and W Jao

A strumal carcinoid arose in a benign cystic teratoma of the ovary. Ultrastructural studies demonstrated that both the solid acinotubular areas as well as the "follicular" components were comprised of light and dark cells that contained numerous secretory granules. These findings indicate that this neoplasm is a pure carcinoid tumor with a follicular pattern. The present study raises the question of whether all strumal carcinoids are indeed pure carcinoid neoplasms.

D002276 Carcinoid Tumor A usually small, slow-growing neoplasm composed of islands of rounded, oxyphilic, or spindle-shaped cells of medium size, with moderately small vesicular nuclei, and covered by intact mucosa with a yellow cut surface. The tumor can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract (and in the lungs and other sites); approximately 90% arise in the appendix. It is now established that these tumors are of neuroendocrine origin and derive from a primitive stem cell.
