Ovarian cystoma Papillary Proliferating

Ovarian papillary proliferating cystoma (ovarii papillare proliferans) is a benign ovarian tumor characterized by the presence of multiple papillary growths in the cyst cavity.

Other names for this disease:

1. Vegetating ovarian cyst
2. Ovarian cyst, papillary ciliated cell
3. Papillary ovarian cyst with ciliated epithelium
4. Cylioepithelial proliferating ovarian cyst
5. Papillary psammomatous ovarian cyst
6. Papillary proliferating serous cystadenoma

With this disease, a cyst is formed in the ovary, lined with columnar epithelial cells. These cells actively multiply, forming numerous papillary growths covering the inner surface of the cyst. The tumor grows slowly and rarely reaches large sizes. Most often, papillary proliferating ovarian cystoma is detected by chance during an examination for another reason. The main treatment method is removal of the affected ovary. The prognosis is usually favorable.

Ovarian cystomas are formations that can appear on a woman’s gonads. They vary in shape and size, as well as in their origin. One type of ovarian cystoma is a proliferating papillary cyst, which is a nodular formation containing large cystic cavities. It can occur in either the left or right ovary and can vary in size. The cyst usually reaches several centimeters in diameter. It is distinguished from other cysts by its progression - it is longer and is accompanied by pathological bleeding, which is often accompanied by unpleasant sensations. In this article we will look at the causes, methods of diagnosis and treatment of this type of cystoma.

Causes of cystoma

The main cause of these formations is dysfunction of the gonads, which can be caused by various factors. Among the reasons are:

Disturbances in the functioning of the endocrine system. This can happen due to hormonal imbalances or problems with the pituitary gland. Also, a disturbance in the production of hormones can occur if there is a tumor in the hypothalamus, or if the synthesis of hormones by the thyroid gland is impaired. Adrenal gland dysfunction. Changes in their work can be caused by the occurrence of Cushing's syndrome, an excess of the stress hormone - cortisol in the body, as well as dysfunction of the adrenal glands due to the entry of infectious agents into them. Cyst rupture. When this type is formed, a rupture rarely occurs. If such cases exist, then laparoscopic surgery is necessary to prevent bleeding. Intrauterine pathologies. If there are abnormalities in the development of organs or tissues, a cystoma may form in a pregnant woman, which will be a consequence of intrauterine inflammation. Pathological processes in the immune system lead to the formation of antibodies that destroy the membranes of the cells of the uterus and ovaries, as a result of which cystomas of all types can appear. Metabolic disorders, renal failure, blood diseases.
