Descriptor English: Cystadenocarcinoma, Serous
Descriptor Spanish: Cistadenocarcinoma Seroso
Descriptor cistoadenocarcinoma seroso
Scope note: Neoplasia maligna quística o semiquística. Es frecuente en el ovario y generalmente es bilateral. La superficie externa suele estar cubierta de excrecencias papilares. Microscópicamente, el patrón papilar se debe predominantemente a proliferaciones de células tumorales, diferenciadas e indiferenciadas. Pueden haber cuerpos de psammoma . El tumor tiende a adherirse a las estructuras circundantes y produce ascitis. (Hughes, Obstetric-Gynecologic Terminology, 1972, p 185)

Scope note: A malignant cystic or semicystic neoplasm. It often occurs in the ovary and usually bilaterally. The external surface is usually covered with papillary excrescences. Microscopically, the papillary patterns are predominantly epithelial overgrowths with differentiated and undifferentiated papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma cells. Psammoma bodies may be present. The tumor generally adheres to surrounding structures and produces ascites. (From Hughes, Obstetric-Gynecologic Terminology, 1972, p185)
