Parovarian cysts constitute 10% of adnexal masses. They were found in broad ligament and mostly arise from mesothelium and less commonly from paramesonephric element and rarely from mesonephric element. In most cases parovarian cysts were asymptomatic. So, they were found incidentally at surgery for other conditions. Torsion is infrequent and it is difficult to distinguish it from torsion of other adnexal masses, appendicitis, etc. Recently, we experienced a voluminous parovarian cyst undergoing torsion, 25 cm in diameter. The case is presented with a review of literature.

Although parovarian cysts constitute 10-20% of all adnexal masses, malignant parovarian tumors are extremely rare. Due to the rarity of this lesion, there are controversies concerning the origin, clinical behavior, and prognosis of these tumors. Currently, it is suggested that these paovarian tumors should be treated similarly to their ovarian counterparts. We experienced one case of parovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma of borderline malignancy, and report this with a brief review of the literatures.

Parovarian tumors may be of mesothelial, mesonephric (Wolffian), or paramesonephric (Mullerian) origin. An estimated 10% of adnexal masses are parovarian cysts, most commonly mesothelial or paramesonephric in origin. Benign neoplasms such as cystadenomas may occasionally develop in parovarian cysts. Malignancy has been reported in 2.0% to 2.8% of parovarian cystic masses, but it seems to be even less frequent in masses smaller than 5 cm. The histologic appearance of the tumor is identical with that of tumors of ovarian origin. However, their similarity of biologic behavior is uncertain. The appropriate therapy for this unusual lesion has not been fully defined, since a minimal amount of follow-up data is available on the few cases which have been reported. We had experienced a case of papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma of borderline malignancy arising from a parovarian paramesonephric cyst and report this case with a brief review of literature.

Although paratubal cysts are well-characterized incidental findings, paratubal serous borderline tumors are very rare, with only one case report in the literature. We describe here a 27-year-old, nulliparous, married woman with a paratubal serous borderline tumor. The patient presented with a huge pelvic mass accompanied by flank pain and underwent paratubal cystectomy and fertility-sparing surgical staging procedures. Thirteen months after surgery, she delivered a healthy baby at term. She is well, without evidence of disease, 20 months after surgery. Because paratubal serous borderline tumors are very rare, their optimal management must be extrapolated from their ovarian counterparts.

Parovarian cysts, generally known as hydatid cysts of Morgagni, are small round cysts attached by a pedicle to the fimbriated end of the tube. Due to the rarity of this lesion, there are controversies concerning the origin, clinical behavior, treatment and prognosis of these tumors. Parovarian borderline malignancy mostly occur in young women, main complaints are abdominal enlargement and pelvic pain. we experienced one case of parovarian borderline malignancy and report this case with a brief review of literature.

On H1 MRS (magnetic resonance spectroscopy), malignant tumors show higher concentration of metabolite than benign lesions. Lactate double peak was detected in malignant tumor and endometriosis, and more prominent high concentration was demonstrated in endometriosis. Tuboovarian abscesses and salpingitis do not show prominent peak. Dermoid cysts show high levels of lipid peak. Paratubal cyst and follicular cyst can be showed the lipid peak, however, the concentration of lipid is lower than that of dermoid cyst. H1 MRS of ovarian cystic lesions can give valuable information about the presence of metabolites of ovarian cystic lesions.

Paratubal cysts come from paraovarium of the broad ligament between the fallopian tube and ovary. Overall, these cysts constitute 10% of all adnexal masses and are commonly incidental findings upon surgical exploration for other reasons. They more commonly occur in women between 30 and 40 years of age. We report two cases of rapidly growing, huge paratubal cysts in young women, which are presented with brief review of literature.

Torsion of the paratubal cyst is a rare but significant cause of acute or recurrent lower abdominal pain in adolescent females that is difficult to recognize preoperatively. Early diagnosis is very important in adolescent because of the risk of decreased fertility if it is not treated at an early stage. We report a case of torsion of the paratubal cyst that has resulted in hemorrhagic infarction of the paratubal cyst and fallopian tube in an adolescent female with brief review of literatures.

We report two cases of ectopic epididymal ducts and efferent ductules in the testicular appendices (TAs) of adult men with normally descended testes. In both cases, a sessile TA was incidentally found at the upper pole of the right testis during the scrotal hydrocelectomy. Microscopically, a few closely arranged tubules were detected within the TA. In the first case, the tubules were lined with a pseudostratified columnar epithelium with numerous, long microvilli, and were surrounded by a smooth muscle coat. In contrast, in the second case, the tubules had a wavy luminal surface, because ciliated columnar cells alternated with groups of cuboidal cells. In both cases, strong CD10 immunoreactivity was observed in the luminal border of the lining epithelium. Surgical pathologists should be aware of the presence of both ectopic epididymal ducts and efferent ductules that can occur in TAs, in order to avoid misinterpretation as transected, functional reproductive structures.

This is a retrospective study of 161 ovarian neoplasms, all of which were surgically removed and had preoperative sonographic examinations. They were evaluated respect to age, tumor size and its echogenicity. The results were as follows: 1. Of all 161 tumors, physiologic lesions were 67 cases (41.6%), germ cell tumors were 28 cases (17.4%) and serous tumors were 19 cases (11.8%). 2. Of all 161 tumors, right ovarian lesions were 82 cases (50.9%), left were 59 cases (36.7%), and bilateral lesions were 20 cases(12.4%). 3. The most characteristic findings of tumors were as follows: 1) Physiologic tumors were 2-9cm sized (88.1%), anechoice-5% echogenic (79.1%), and developed during 4th & 5th decades (91.0%). 2) Inflammatory tumors were 2-9cm sized (94.1%), 50%-totally echogenic (76.5%), and during 4th & 5th decades (94.1%). 3) Serous tumors were 2-9cm sized (60.3%), anechoic-5% echogenic (89.5%), and during 3rd & 4th decades (84.2%). 4) Mucinous tumors were 5-19 cm sized (77.8%), anechoic-5% echogenic (77.8%), during 2nd-8th decades with diffuse distribution. 5) Endometrioid tumors were 5-14cm sized (100.0%), variable echogenic, and during 3rd & 4th decades (90.9%). 6) Germ cell tumors were 5-14cm sized (75.0%), variable echogenic, during 3rd & 4th decades (82.1%). 7) Parovarian cysts were 2-14cm sized (90.0%), anechoic-5% echogenic (100.0%), with diffuse age distribution. 4. The malignant and borderline malignant tumors were 9 caseswith more than 10cm sized (77.8%), and developed during older than 4th decade (100.0%). Anechoic 3 cases, 1-5% echogenic 2 cases, and totally echogenic 4 cases were found.
