KEY FACTS

  • Terminology

    • Imaging

      • Top Differential Diagnoses

        • Pathology

          • Clinical Issues

            • Diagnostic Checklist

              TERMINOLOGY

              • Abbreviations

                • Low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSC)
                • Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC)
                • Epithelial inclusion cyst (EIC)
              • Definitions

                • Serous epithelial neoplasm
                  • Benign (serous cystadenoma)
                  • Low malignant potential (borderline serous and LGSC)
                  • Malignant (high-grade serous ovarian neoplasm)
                    • Distinct histopathologic entity from benign, borderline serous, and LGSC
                    • Hence, serous cystadenocarcinoma terminology is going out of favor
