Another good list Raj - thanks
I have also read that a "serous cystadenoma" is the most common benign ovarian tumor but surely it should be a corpus luteum or simple cyst? _________________ "Teale Fenning Medical Education" delivering evidence-based, exam-orientated learning since 1997 |

hi nick,
the corpus luteal cyst and simple cyst are both physiological and not classified as tumors. hence when we say tumor, i'll stick to serous cystadenoma.
cheers
