@entity43 @entity1 @entity172 @entity13305 @entity5 @entity2580 @entity189 @entity42
The records from 1965 to 1985 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Kurume University Hospital were reviewed. In this period, 112 cases were fulfilled the criteria of @entity13305 and they were carefully screened to clinical history, physical findings, operative findings, and histologic character of the lesion. The incidence of @entity13305 in all @entity43 was 17.8%. The average age was 45.4 years with ranged from 23 to 71. As expected from this age distribution, 73 @entity1 (65%) were 50 years of age or younger. A primary @entity189 was found in 78 (69.6%) of 112 @entity1 . In three cases, the @entity13305 were associated with a recent pregnancy. Two cases were associated with @entity42 . Microscopically, both ovaries were involved in all cases that could be evaluated for bilaterality. The relation between age distribution and histological characteristics was examined. @entity2580 were observed frequently in young @entity1 and @entity189 in older @entity1 . @entity5 were remarkably common in younger @entity1 . In the @entity1 with a recent pregnancy, the abdominal mass developed rapidly after delivery. In addition, @entity172 receptors were present in all experimented cases. The above results suggested that @entity172 influences @entity5 development and the histological character many of @entity13305 .
