Specific features of the stromal ovarian tumors.

AIM OF THE STUDY: Establishing a characteristic pattern for the stromal ovarian tumors.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: We realized the clinical-statistics analyze of 27 stromal tumors (lot B) from a total of 498 patients with ovarian tumors (lot A), diagnosed and treated between 1999 - 2008 in Elena Doamna Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology, lasi. We used the clinical files of these patients, operatory protocols and anatomopathological results.

RESULTS: we analyzed a large number of parameters: age, location, first diagnoses, symptoms, anatomopathological diagnose, imunohistochemical diagnose, etc. When we compared the two lots of patients we pointed out significant differences for the following parameters: most affected group of age, first diagnose, and associated diseases, anatomopathological and imunohistochemical differences, and prognostic factors.

CONCLUSIONS: stromal ovarian tumors are a less studied entity, with particular anatomopathological and imunohistochemical features which differentiates them from the rest of the ovarian tumors.
