TUMOURS IN ICELAND 9. Malignant Tumours of the Ovary. A Histological Classification, Epidemiological Considerations and Survival
In the period 1955 – 1979, 337 patients with carcinoma of the ovary were reported to the Icelandic Cancer Registgry. Sufficient histological material existed for 314 of these to make it possible to classify the tumours according to the Histological Typing of Ovarian Tumours of WHO (11). The tumour w...

The tumour was in the right ovary in 85 and the left in another 85 patients. In 137 patients both ovaries were involved at the time of diagnosis and in 30 patients the side was not known. The most frequent tumours were the group of serous adenocarcinomas, papillary adenocarcinomas and papillary cystadenocarcinomas (IA3a), occurring in 113 patients, giving an age‐standardized incidence of 4.4 per 100.000.
