Brenner tumour in the ovary. Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of cells of a Brenner tumour on the surface of a human ovary. Tufts of cilia (green) of a ciliated cell are seen; it is located among columnar secretory cells (orange) with microvilli. These cell elements make up the Brenner tumour,a benign tumour (or fibro- epithelioma) of the surface epithelial cells of the ovary. The cells are irregularly shaped and highly proliferative. Named after the German pathologist Fritz Brenner,a Brenner tumour that is proliferative may become malignant (cancerous). Magnification: x4,060 at 6x7cm size. x5,200 at 4x5ins | |
