    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Endocrinology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Endocrinically active genital tumors are rare and present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Ovarian tumors with hormonal activity necessitate careful differential diagnosis.
    • The World Health Organization (WHO) classification provides a framework for these rare neoplasms.

    Purpose:

    • To review the classification and treatment of endocrinically active ovarian tumors.
    • To discuss the symptomatology and variable prognosis of these tumors.
    • To provide therapeutic recommendations based on tumor type and endocrine activity.

    Summary:

    • The WHO classification aids in understanding endocrinically active ovarian tumors, including uterine HCG-producing trophoblast diseases.
