| hilar cell tumour of ovary | A small benign masculinizing ovarian tumour derived from hilar cells, which resemble Leydig cells of the testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| hilum of ovary | The depression along the mesovarian margin, at the insertion of the mesovarium, where vessels and nerves enter or leave the ovary. Synonym: hilum ovarii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stroma of ovary | The fibrous tissue of the medulla of the ovary. Synonym: stroma ovarii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suspensory ligament of ovary | A band of peritoneum that extends upward from the upper pole of the ovary; it contains the ovarian vessels and ovarian plexus of nerves. Synonym: ligamentum suspensorium ovarii, infundibulopelvic ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dermoid cyst of ovary | A common benign cystic teratoma of the ovary, lined for the most part by skin, and containing hair and sebum, but also usually containing a variety of other well differentiated structures within a small inwardly projecting mass of solid tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dermoid cyst of the ovary | Tumours that develop from a totipotential germ cell (a primary oocyte) retained within the ovary. Being totipotential, that cell can give rise to all orders of cells necessary to form mature tissues and often recognizable structures such as hair, bone and sebaceous (oily) material, neural tissue and teeth. Dermoid cysts may occur at any age but the prime age of detection is in the childbearing years. The average age is 30. Up to 15% of women with ovarian teratomas have them in both ovaries. Dermoid cysts can range in size from a centimeter (less than a half inch) up to 45 cm (17 inches) in diameter. They can cause the ovary to twist (torsion) and imperil its blood supply. Although the large majority (about 98%) of ovarian teratomas are benign, the remaining fraction (about 2%) becomes malignant. The larger the dermoid, the greater the risk of rupture with spillage of the greasy contents which can create problems with adhesions, pain etc. Removal is usually the treatment of choice by laparotomy (surgery) or laparoscopy (with a scope). Dermoid cysts of the ovary are also called simply dermoids or ovarian teratomas. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ovary | <anatomy> One of two small oval bodies situated on either side of the uterus on the posterior surface of the broad ligament. The structures in which the ova (eggs) are developed and released during ovulation. (05 Jan 1998) |

The larger the dermoid, the greater the risk of rupture with spillage of the greasy contents which can create problems with adhesions, pain etc. Removal is usually the treatment of choice by laparotomy (surgery) or laparoscopy (with a scope). Dermoid cysts of the ovary are also called simply dermoids or ovarian teratomas. (12 Dec 1998) |
| third ovary | An accessory ovary. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tubal extremity of ovary | The rounded lateral end of the ovary, usually directed toward the infundibulum of the uterine tube. Synonym: extremitas tubaria ovarii, lateral pole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uterine extremity of ovary | The rounded medial end of the ovary, usually directed toward the uterus. Synonym: extremitas uterina ovarii, medial pole of ovary. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral surface of ovary | The surface of the ovary facing the pelvic wall. Synonym: facies lateralis ovarii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| free border of ovary | The unattached, posterior margin of the ovary. Synonym: margo liber ovarii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal medullary imaging | <investigation, radiology> A nuclear scan that images the adrenal glands after a radioactive tracer is injected into the bloodstream. This test is useful in detecting a pheochromocytoma, particularly if it not within the adrenal gland. (27 Sep 1997) |
| anterior medullary velum | The thin layer of white matter stretching between the two superior cerebellar peduncles, forming the roof of the superior recess of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: velum medullare superius, anterior medullary velum, Vieussens' valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
