Abstract
- Ovarian stromal hyperplasia is commonly observed in peri- and post-menopausal ovaries. Assessment has, hitherto, been largely subjective or dependent on arbitrary criteria, which has made comparison of studies difficult. In this study, the stroma of a large number of ovaries was assessed morphometrically. Data were related to clinicopathological and cytomorphological information. A significant association was noted between the degree of stromal proliferation and post-menopausal endometrial adenocarcinoma (P = 0.004). There were no significant correlations between the degree of stromal proliferation and average cytomorphological dimensions.
