Polycystic ovarian disease affects 3-6% of reproductive aged women and is characterized by numerous cystic follicles, often associated with irregular periods. Serous cystadenomas are the most common ovarian neoplasms and present as unilateral, thin walled cysts filled with straw colored fluid. Microscopically, they are lined by low columnar epithelium resembling tubule epithelium. Mucinous cystadenomas also arise from ovarian surface epithelium and present as larger, multilocular cysts containing viscid mucinous fluid. Microscopically, they are lined by tall columnar epithelium with mucinous vacuoles. Gestational trophoblastic diseases include hydatidiform moles,

POLYCYSTIC OVARIES
Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD; formerly
termed SteinLeventhal syndrome) affects 3% to 6% ofreproductive-age women. The central pathologic abnormality is numerous cystic follicles or folliclecysts, often associated with oligomenorrhea. Women with PCOD have persistent anovulation, obesity (40%), hirsutism (50%). SEROUS CYSTADENOMA MOST COMMON NEOPLASMS OF OVARY CAN BE FOUND AT ANY AGE MC BETWEEN 20-50 YRS OF AGE BILATERAL INVOLVEMENT OCCUR IN 20% CASES GROSS IT IS UNILOCULAR, THIN WALLED CYST FILLED WITH STRAW COLOURED WATERY FLUID EXTERNAL SURFACE IS SEMITRANSLUCENT, SMOOTH IT MAY BE LESS THAN 1 CM TO AS MUCH AS 30 CM IN DIAMETER MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION IT IS LINED BY PROPERLY ORIENTED LOW COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM WHICH IS CILIATED AND RESEMBLES TUBULE EPITHELIUM
MICROSCOPIC PAPILLAE MAY BE FOUND
MUCINOUS CYSTADENOMA MUCINOUS CYSTADENOMA ALSO ARISES FROM SURFACE EPITHELIUM OF OVARY BUT ARE LESS COMMON THAN SEROUS CYSTADENOMA THEY OCCUR PRINCIPALLY IN MID ADULT LIFE & ARE RARE BEFORE PUBERTY & AFTER MENOPAUSE BILATERAL INVOLVEMENT IS RARE & OCCURS IN 5% CASES GROSS THEY ARE LARGER THAN SEROUS TUMOURS THEY ARE TYPICALLY MULTILOCULAR THIN WALLED CYST WITH SMOOTH EXTERNAL SURFACE CONTAINING STICKY, VISCID, GELATINOUS FLUID RICH IN GLYCOPROTEIN LOCULI VARY IN SIZE & OFTEN TUMOUR MAY BE COMPOSED OF ONE MAJOR CAVITY WITH MANY DAUGHTER CYST MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION IT IS CHARACTERISED BY LINING OF NON CILIATED, TALL, COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM CELLS WITH BASAL NUCLEI & APICAL MUCINOUS VACUOLES SIMILAR TO BENIGN CERVICAL & INTESTINAL EPITHELIUM THERE IS VERY LITTLE TENDENCY TO PAPILLARY PROLIFERATION OF THE EPITHELIUM GESTATIONAL AND PLACENTAL DISORDERS
Diseases of pregnancy and pathologic conditions
of the placenta are important causes of intrauterine or perinatal death, congenital malformations, intrauterine growth retardation, maternal death, and a great deal of morbidity for both mother and child. The placenta is composed of chorionic villi that sprout from the chorion to provide a large contact area between the fetal and maternal circulations. HYDATIFORM MOLE It is characterised histologically by cystic swelling of chorionic villi Accompanied by variable trophoblastic proliferation In the past, most patients presented with 4-5 months of pregnancy with vaginal bleeding Nowadays, they are diagnosed earlier due to regular ultrasound H. mole may be invasive & non invasive Two types of non invasive moles- 1.Complete/ classic mole 2.Partial mole CLINICAL FEATURES.
Most women with partial and early complete moles
present with spontaneous pregnancy loss or undergo curettage because of abnormalities in ultrasound showing diffuse villous enlargement. In complete moles quantitative analysis of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) shows levels of hormone greatly exceeding those produced during a normal pregnancy of similar gestational age. The vast majority of moles are removed by thorough curettage. COMPLETE MOLE IN THIS, ALL OR MOST OF THE VILLI ARE EDEMATOUS & THERE IS CIRCUMFERENTIAL PROLIFERATION
THE CYTOLOGICAL STUDY SHOWS
DIPLOID PATTERN (44XX) IN 90% CASES PARTIAL MOLE IN THIS, SOME VILLI SHOW EDEMATOUS CHANGES WHILE OTHER ARE NORMAL
TROPHOBLASTIC PROLIFERATION IS FOCAL
THE KARYOTYPE IS MOSTLY TRIPLOID
GROSS UTERINE CAVITY IS FILLED WITH DELICATE FRIABLE MASSES OF THIN WALLED TRANSLUCENT CYSTIC GRAPE LIKE STRUCTURES
FOETAL PARTS ARE SEEN IN PARTIAL
MOLE NOT IN COMPLETE MOLE MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION IN PARTIAL MOLE, VILLOUS EDEMA INVOLVES PORTION OF VILLI THE TROPHOBLASTIC PROLIFERATION IS FOCAL IN COMPLETE MOLE, HYDROPIC CHANGES INVOLVE MOST OF THE VILLI & THERE IS ABSENCE OF VASCULATURE IN THESE VILLI THE CIRCUMFERENTIAL PROLIFERATION OF TROPHOBLASTIC CELLS PRODUCES SHEETS & MASSES OF CELLS IN COMPLETE MOLE, BOTH SYNCYTIOTROPHOBLAST & CYTOTROPHOBLASTS ARE PROLIFERATING WHEREAS IN PARTIAL MOLE, SYNCYTIOTROPHOBLASTS ARE PROLIFERATING
