[Cytomorphological characteristics of ovarian dysgerminoma]

Cytomorphological signs of ovarian dysherminoma are distinguished on suboperation material from 7 patients. Scrapings from removed ovarian tumors were stained after N. G. Alexeev and Pappenheim. Dysherminoma cytograms were characterized mainly by a combination of three cell types: large sharply polymorphic epithelioid with multiple clearly-seen nuclei, connective tissue, and lymphocyte-like cells.
