SNOMED CT: Benign epithelial tumor of ovary (254857008)

Definition

A neoplasm that arises from the surface epithelium of the ovary and is characterized by the absence of atypical or malignant cytological and architectural features, and absence of invasive features or metastatic potential. Representative examples include serous cystadenoma, mucinous cystadenoma, clear cell adenofibroma, and benign Brenner tumor. [from NCI]
