What are Common Pathologies Involving Ovarian Stroma?
Several pathologies can affect the ovarian stroma:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Characterized by hyperplasia of the stromal tissue and increased androgen production. Ovarian Fibroma: A benign tumor arising from the stromal cells, often leading to a solid mass within the ovary. Ovarian Cancer: Certain types of ovarian cancers, such as stromal tumors, originate from the stromal tissue and can significantly alter its architecture and function.
