“…Condition of surface epithelium in our study and for mation of inclusion cysts were almost identical in chronic PID and in control ovaries, which is not surpris ing because inclusion cysts are described at any age [8], even in fetuses [9]. Thus, adhesions can hardly be impli cated in inclusion cyst formation.…”

One hundred and sixty-six ovaries of the women of childbearing age suffering from chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) were studied histologically and compared with normal ovaries. The number of mature follicles, cystic atretic follicles, follicular cysts, corpora lutea of menstruation, regressing corpora lutea, and corpus luteum cysts were calculated for each ovary. The main difference between ovaries in chronic PID and normal controls was increase in the number of cystic follicles and follicular and corpus luteum cysts in PID. This phenomenon is explained by the altered blood supply in PID-involved ovaries covered by adhesions containing numerous blood vessels. Chronic PID did not influence the growth of follicles, and their ability to ovulate.

“…One confirmatory finding of this hypothesis is the abundance of EICs in the ovaries of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), in whom the ovulation is infrequent (4) . Blaustein et al (15) defined two types of EIC, fetal and acquired. They supposed that fetal EICs develop in utero due to absence of a basal membrane, lined with primitive celomic epithelium, and regress both in frequency and in number till puberty.…”

Possible precursor lesions for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) have been defined in the ovaries of women with contralateral EOC, with breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA)-1 mutations, or with positive family history. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of these lesions in women without any recognizable risk and to correlate these lesions with clinical ovulatory markers. The study group consisted of 184 women who were operated for benign gynecological conditions. Patients were requested to fill a questionnaire about anthropometric characteristics and medical and reproductive history. Oophorectomy specimens were examined for presence of epithelial inclusion cysts (EIC), cortical invaginations (CI), stromal hyperplasia (SHPP), epithelial pseudostratification (EPS), and surface papillomatosis (SP). Women with EIC were older, had lower age at menarche, and had higher menarche-to-pregnancy and menarche-to-operation time. SHPP was found to be related with age, menarche-to-operation time, history, and the duration of oral contraceptive use. Women with SP had lower age at menarche, lower menopausal age, and longer duration of hormone replacement therapy. No significant correlations were established between CI and any clinical parameters. Only one patient had EPS. Our findings suggest that these lesions correlate closely with reproductive features. Exact mechanisms that lead to development of these lesions should be clarified before implying them as precursor lesions of EOC.

“…Very rarely the tubal epithelium undergoes clear cell hyperplasia in response to the adjacent tubal pregnancy. 4 During gestation and the puerperium, the AriasStella reaction has been reported in endometriosis, 5 epithelial inclusion cysts of the ovary 6 and even ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. 7 In view of the Arias-Stella atypia, the cytology of the paratubal cyst content from a pregnant woman may mimic malignancy.…”
