Abstract
A case of primary ovarian carcinoid in a 53-year-old woman is described. The tumor which replaced the left ovary showed a mixture of insular, trabecular and mucinous cell types in the same mass. The nature of the neoplastic cells has been verified by light and electron microscopic studies. The latter investigation demonstrated bundles of tonofilament and apical villi of the trabecular cells in addition to the morphologic difference of neurosecretory granules among these various cells.
