Clinical Information
  • A condition in which cells that may become cancer form in the thin layer of tissue that covers an ovary (female reproductive gland in which eggs are made). In this condition, tumor cells rarely spread outside of the ovary
  • An epithelial tumor arising from the ovary without definitive morphologic characteristics of malignancy
Use Additional
