Cystadenoma tumors arise from ovarian surface epithelium and are the most common type of benign ovarian tumor. There are two types, serous and mucinous. Serous-type tumors comprise 45% of ovarian tumors, are commonly bilateral and are characterized by unilocular cysts lined smoothly by serous fluid-secreting epithelium. Mucinous-type tumors have multi-locular cysts lined by mucus-secreting epithelium.

Serous cystadenomas comprise 45% of ovarian tumors. They are commonly bilateral and lined with fallopian tube-like epithelium.

Serous cystadenoma presents with a unilocular cyst lined smoothly by serous fluid-secreting epithelium.

Serous cystadenoma tumors often present bilaterally and are benign.

Mucinous cystadenoma tumors are characterized by multi-locular cysts lined by mucus-secreting epithelium. They appear histologically similar to intestinal tissue.

Mucinous cystadenoma tumors have mucus-secreting multilocular cysts.
