• 

  Fig. 1. (A) Mixed echogenic mass measuring 13×8.8 cm arising from the left side of the pelvis. (B) Large cystic space-occupying lesion with thick septa measuring 18.5×11.9×14.4 cm arising from the pelvis.

• 

  Fig. 2. Cut surface showing a thin walled unilocular cyst with a smooth inner surface and multiple tiny papillary excrescences and hemorrhagic areas.

• 

  Fig. 3. (A) A cyst wall lined by multilayered granulosa cells and Call-Exner bodies. (B) A fibrocollagenous cyst wall lined by multilayered granulosa cells with interspersed Call-Exner bodies. (C) These Call-Exner bodies showing round to polyhedral granulosa cells with scant cytoplasm and round to oval grooved coffee bean nuclei. (D) Inhibin positive cells seen in the cytoplasm of tumor cells. (E) Vimentin positive cells seen as diffuse membrane positivity.
