Entry term(s) tumor de células tecales
Scope note: Tumor del estroma gonadal constituido exclusivamente por CÉLULAS DE LA TECA, que se da principalmente en el OVARIO posmenopáusico. Está formado por células fusiformes que contienen lípidos y producen ESTRÓGENOS que pueden dar lugar a HIPERPLASIA ENDOMETRIAL, HEMORRAGIA UTERINA y otros tumores malignos en la mujer posmenopáusica, y a precocidad sexual en las niñas. Cuando los tumores que contienen células tecales contienen también FIBROBLASTOS se denominan fibrotecomas, y son menos activos en la producción hormonal.

Scope note: A gonadal stromal neoplasm composed only of THECA CELLS, occurring mostly in the postmenopausal OVARY. It is filled with lipid-containing spindle cells and produces ESTROGENS that can lead to ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA; UTERINE HEMORRHAGE; or other malignancies in postmenopausal women and sexual precocity in girls. When tumors containing theca cells also contain FIBROBLASTS, they are identified as thecoma-fibroma tumors with less active hormone production.
