Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Angela Rolte, a pathologist, discusses various cases related to ovarian tumors and intraoperative diagnosis. She highlights the importance of gross examination and communication between pathologists and surgeons in accurately diagnosing tumors during surgery. Dr. Rolte discusses the challenges in diagnosing borderline tumors, especially on frozen section histology, and emphasizes the need for extensive sampling and communication in these cases. She also discusses the use of intraoperative cytology as an alternative to frozen section histology, especially in low-resource settings. Dr. Rolte presents cases of clear cell carcinoma, mucinous neoplasms, mesonephric-like adenocarcinomas, and other tumor types, providing insights into their gross and cytological features. She also addresses questions from the audience related to pseudomyxoma peritonei, the distinction between primary and metastatic mucinous adenocarcinomas, and the role of intraoperative cytology.
