RESUMO

The need for a proper classification of primary ovarian cancer has prompted this study which deals with the experience with 101 cases encountered over a 17-year period (1953-1969) at the University Hospital in Jamaica. Pathological data on all cases of primary ovarian malignancies seen at this hospital since its inception have been reviewed in detail. In 94 cases, the tumours were removed at operation and in 7, all of which were admitted with terminal cancer, only autopsy material was available for study. The tumours were classified into four broad groups according to the criteria established at a symposium held by the Patients Care Committee of the Inter-national Union Against Cancer (1968): (a) Tumours of Mullerian origin, (b) Sex cord - Mesenchyme tumours, (c) Tumours of germinal origin and (d) Lipoidic cell tumours. Tumours related to the Mullerian epithelium constitued 67 per cent of the total and of these 47 cases were papillary serous cystadenocarcinomas, of 1361 cases collected over a 38-year period (1921-1959). A striking aspect of the present series was the relatively high increase of sex cord mesenchyme tumours (22 per cent) as compared with Kottmeier's figure of 8 per cent. Twenty-one of the 22 cases were granulosa-theca cell tumours and the other a Sertoli-Leydig cell turmour. There were also twice as many germ cell tumours in the present study than those reported by Kottmeier and these, except for one case of choriocarcinoma, were divided roughly equally among the dysgerminoma, malignant teratoma and the endodermal sinus tumour. Mucinous cystadenocarcinomas, in contrast to the papillary serous tumours, were uncommon accounting for only 3 per cent of the total. There were 10 per cent of endometrioid carcinomas which is half the incidence reported in Kottmeier's series (AU)
