Ovarian Cancer

The left ovary is enlarged and irregular.
   

The left ovary has been freed and will be removed without spilling its contents. It proved to contain an endometrioid carcinoma, a rare type of ovarian cancer probably arising from an implant of endometriosis within the ovary.

 
For comparison, this is a normal right ovary. (The right fallopian tube has been removed)
   

Dermoid (Benign Cystic Teratoma)
(The most common benign ovarian tumor)

Ovarian Fibroma (Benign, Non-Malignant)

The ovarian fibroma completely fills the pelvic cavity, pushing the uterus upward.

   

The ovarian fibroma can be seen hanging from the otherwise normal ovary

   

The tumor has been removed by laparoscopic techniques, leaving a normal uterus and ovaries.
