Ovaries01:26

Ovaries

1.5K
The ovaries are roughly the size of almonds and measure approximately 2 to 3 centimeters in length. These paired structures are situated within the pelvic region and are anchored by the mesovarium—a peritoneal extension that also connects them to the wider structure of the broad ligament. The support system extends to the suspensory ligament, housing blood and lymphatic vessels. In addition, the ovarian ligament tethers the ovaries to the uterus.
On the ovarian surface, a layer of...

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System01:24

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

2.1K
The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

5.6K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Ovarian Cycle01:27

Ovarian Cycle

2.1K
The menstrual cycle includes a critical component known as the ovarian cycle, which undergoes two main phases each month—the follicular phase and the luteal phase. The follicular phase is variable and averaging around 14 days. Ovulation, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), marks the transition between the two phases. The second phase, the luteal phase, is relatively consistent, lasting approximately 14 days, and is marked by the activity of the corpus luteum. While a cycle...

Oogenesis02:07

Oogenesis

66.1K
In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle01:30

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle

4.4K
The ovarian cycle is meticulously regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. This cycle orchestrates the release of a mature oocyte, essential for reproduction.
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle.  At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Molecular Diagnostics

Background:

  • Synovial sarcoma (SS) is an uncommon malignancy, with primary occurrence in the female genital tract being exceptionally rare.
  • Literature review identified only three prior cases of primary ovarian sarcoma.

Observation:

  • A case of primary ovarian synovial sarcoma in a young woman presented with monophasic spindle cell morphology.
  • The initial presentation posed a broad differential diagnosis, complicating definitive diagnosis based on morphology alone.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis was confirmed using cytogenetics Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) to detect the characteristic SS translocation.
  • Immunohistochemistry and morphology were insufficient for definitive diagnosis in this monophasic case.

Implications:

  • Synovial sarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of atypical spindle cell tumors in the ovary.
  • Molecular pathology techniques, such as FISH, are crucial for accurate diagnosis of challenging ovarian spindle cell neoplasms.
