Presentations

Typically a cyst with more or less of the ovary.

Comprehensiveness

On this resource, the following formatting is used for comprehensiveness:

  • Minimal depth
  • (Moderate depth)
  • ((Comprehensive))

Gross processing

Transillumination may help in identifying thickened areas of the cyst. This example also shows papillary excrescences near the bottom.

The specimen is generally not inked.

Gross report

Example:

(Labeled - ___.) The specimen is received in formalin and consists of an ovary with a cyst, and attached portion of the fallopian tube, in total measuring ___. The capsule of the ovary and the cyst is tan-pink and smooth. The cyst is << intact / collapsed>>{{, with a wall defect measuring _ cm}}. Upon {{further}} opening the contents of the cyst consists of ___. The cyst lining is tan-pink and smooth, with a wall thickness of __. There are no papillary excrescences. Cut sections of the ovary reveal solid, white and whorled parenchyma, and no gross lesions. The attached fallopian tube fragment measures ___, and displays fimbria. Cut sections of the tube reveal a patent lumen. Representative sections are submitted for microscopic examination in __ cassettes.

Microscopic evaluation

If there are solid components, evaluate those as ovarian tumors.

Attempt to classify cysts into either of the following:

Type Subtype Typical microscopy findings Image
Functional cyst Follicular cyst
Corpus luteum cyst
  • A convoluted cyst lining of luteinized granulosa cells[2]
  • A prominent fibrous[2] to hemorrhagic inner layer
  • An outer layer of theca cells[2]
Cystadenoma Serous cystadenoma Cyst lining consisting of a simple epithelium, whose cells may be either:[3]
  • columnar and tall and contain cilia, resembling normal tubal epithelium
  • cuboidal and have no cilia, resembling ovarian surface epithelium
Mucinous cystadenoma Lined by a mucinous epithelium
Mature cystic teratoma
(dermoid)
Well-differentiated components from at least two germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm and/or endoderm).[4]
Endometriosis At least two of the following three criteria:[5]
Borderline tumor Atypical epithelial proliferation without stromal invasion.[6]
Ovarian cancer Many different types, but generally severe dysplasia/atypia and invasion.
Serous carcinoma.
Simple cyst /
simple squamous cyst
Simple squamous epithelium and not conforming to diagnoses above
