| Popis: |
Two cases in which tumours of contrasting malignant potential arose in mature cystic teratomas (dermoid cysts) of the ovary are presented: one patient had a spindle-cell sarcoma and the other a trabecular carcinoid. The first patient's clinical course was characterized by rapid recurrence of the tumour and death 3 months after surgery. The second patient is alive and well with no evidence of residual carcinoid, although the follow-up time is short. Since the surgical procedure of choice differs substantially if malignant transformation occurs in an ovarian dermoid cyst, the pathologist should be consulted intraoperatively in selected cases. |
