Ovarian serous cystadenoma

What it means

A cystic tumor of the ovary, containing thin, clear, yellow serous fluid and varying amounts of solid tissue.

Ovarian serous cystadenoma HAS a malignant potential several times greater than that of mucinous cystadenoma. It can be unilocular, parvilocular, or multilocular. It is often bilateral and papillary. The cysts may vary greatly in size.
