Brenner tümörü: 2 olgu sunumu; belirgin makrokistik değişiklik ve ekstraovaryan lokalizasyon

Histogenetik orijini henüz tam açıklığa kavuşmamış ovaryan Brenner tümörleri tüm over tümörlerinin %2'sini oluşturur ve çoğu benigndir; yaklaşık %20'si seröz veya müsinöz kistadenom ya da benign bir teratomla birliktelik gösterir. Brenner tümörde ilk olarak 1920'li yıllarda tanımlanan müsinöz epitel varlığı, bazen belirgin olup tanı zorluğuna yol açabilir. Ayrıca ekstraovaryan yerleşimli nadir Brenner tümör olguları da bildirilmiştir. Burada; nadir olmaları nedeniyle biri makrokistik, diğeri ekstraovaryan olup seröz kistadenomla birliktelik gösteren iki farklı Brenner tümörünü sunduk.

Brenner tumor: A 2 case report; distinct macrocystic change and extraovarian localization

Brenner tumors, the histogenetic origins of which have not yet come to light, comprise 2 % of all ovarian tumors and most are benign; about 20% occurring together with a mucinous or serous cystadenoma or a benign teratoma. The existance of mucinous epithelium, first described in 1920 as a Brenner tumor, is sometimes distinct and causes diagnostic difficulties. Rare cases of Brenner tumors with extraovarian localization were also reported. Since cases have rarely been observed, we present 2 different Brenner Tumors; one macrocystic, the other extraovarian-located coexisting with serous cystadenoma.
