Abstract
Nonneoplastic—physiologic or reactive—conditions of the ovary may present as a mass lesion and mimic a malignant process clinically or radiologically and may result in a diagnostic dilemma on frozen section examination. Familiarity with the clinical context, the spectrum of frozen section histomorphology, and the potential technical artifacts can help avoiding overinterpretation of these benign lesions. Precise classification of benign findings, however, is rarely required for intraoperative management.
