Angiogenesis of the ovary

Article Abstract:

The human ovary is one place where angiogenesis normally occurs. Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels. Although it is normal in the healthy ovary, it can also lead to ovarian diseases such as polycystic ovary, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, and ovarian tumors.

Ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings of a large asymptomatic retroperitoneal pelvic leiomyoma

Article Abstract:

Ultrasonography followed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be helpful in diagnosing leiomyoma. Leiomyoma is a benign tumor of the uterus. A 21-year-old woman with an asymptomatic 10 centimeter solid mass, filling the entire pelvis, was treated. Ultrasonography and MRI showed the size of the mass and displacement of vagina, ovaries, and uterus. The tumor was surgically removed. Pathology of the mass indicated a leiomyoma. The finding by MRI of low signal intensity of the mass and the location of the mass next to the uterus helped confirm the diagnosis and management of the leiomyoma.

Angiogenesis in primary and metastatic epithelial ovarian carcinoma

Article Abstract:

The number of new blood vessels found in abdominal tumors derived from primary ovarian tumors appears to be useful in predicting the patient's survival rate. Blood vessel counts were performed in ovarian cancer samples of 42 patients and abdominal tumor samples from 19 of these patients. Blood vessel counts were compared with patient characteristics. Patients with actively growing abdominal tumors as indicated by increased blood vessel counts had shorter survival rates. Blood vessel counts in the primary tumor did not correlate with patient survival or any other patient characteristic.
