| Article Title: | Nonserous ovarian epithelial tumors |
| Abstract: | This review covers the group of relatively uncommon nonserous ovarian epithelial tumors. The authors focus on the group's distinctiveness from the much more common serous tumors and show the similarities across entities. Diagnostic criteria that separate the different entities are currently being debated. Particular problems include the reproducible diagnosis of high-grade endometrioid, transitional cell, mixed epithelial and undifferentiated carcinomas. Furthermore, despite recognition that most malignant mucinous tumors involving ovary represent metastases from extraovarian primary sites, many misdiagnoses still occur. The authors discuss their rationale behind their opinions about these problematic topics. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. |
