Frequency of clinically occult intraepithelial and invasive neoplasia in reduction mammoplasty specimens: a study of 516 cases.

abstract：:Transitional cell tumors of the ovary comprise about 1% to 2% of all ovarian neoplasms. Most of these tumors are benign Brenner tumors and account for about 5% of benign surface epithelial-stromal tumors. Spicules of calcifications are found in the stroma of about 50% of benign Brenner tumors. Although diagnostic chal...
