Argentaffin Tumor Occurring in a Benign Cystic Teratoma of the Ovary

Adenomatoid bronchial tumors.A Consideration of the Carcinoid Tumors and the Salivary Tumors of the Bronchial Tree

“…Origin of carcinoid in relation to bronchial epithelium is also suggested by the relationships noted in ovarian teratomas in which carcinoid forms part of the lesion. Thirteen such cases have been reported.637, 23, 24, 37, 50, 6 6 , 6 8 * 9 2 I n 4 of these, including case 1 of Betson and Golden,G the carcinoid component arose i n close association with structures and epithelium resembling 7,603 66 Mitchell and DiamondGG recorded a case as argentophil, but the staining technique was not detailed enough to permit determination of whether it was argentaffin or argyrophilic. Falkmer's24 case was argentaffin.…”

“Argentaffin carcinoma” (carcinoid) occurring in a benign cystic teratoma of the ovary

“…In three of these the carcinoid tumor appeared to have arisen in relation to intestinal epithelium,69 12 in one case in relation to gastric mucosa,4 and in one case in association with respiratory-tract derivatives. 9 In the remaining two cases the tissue of origin could not be identified definite1y.l. All teratoinas originated in the ovaries except onell that arose in the tcstis.…”
