  • Title: Unusual cystadenofibromas: endometrioid, mucinous, and clear cell types.
    Author: Kao GF, Norris HJ.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1979 Dec; 54(6):729-36. PubMed ID: 514560.
    Abstract:
    Cystadenofibromas are benign ovarian neoplasms containing both epithelial and stromal components. The epithelial component is usually of simple serous type resembling fallopian tube epithelium. Occasionally, tumors with unusual epithelial pattenrs are encountered. In this study, 16 cystadenofibromas with unusual epithelium are described. Twelve are examples of an endometrioid type, 3 of a clear cell (mesonephroid) type, and 1 of a mucinous-type epithelium. The stromal component in all tumors is identical to that of ordinary cystadenofibromas. One of the patients with a tumor containing endometrioid epithelium developed recurrence in the vagina after surgical removal of the ovarian tumor. The rest of the clinical features of these tumors are similar to those of ordinary cystadenofibromas with the exception that the median age is 10--20 years greater in the unusual-epithelium group.
