Figure 2. Gross appearance of the extracted left ovary. The extracted left ovary (60 mm × 70 mm × 70 mm, 117 g in weight) was coated smooth surface (a). The cut surface revealed many various-sized cystic follicles filled with yellowish serous fluids and greyish-yellow solid parts (↑) (b).

Figure 3. Microscopic appearance of the section of the extracted left ovary. The tissues were observed as various-sized follicular structures contained eosinophilic-fluid-like Call-Exner body (a: ×100). The neoplastic cells in parts of the tumour were also formed with tubular and solid patterns (b: ×200).
