The answer is B, D, E. Ovarian cystic teratomas are invariably benign and contain a mixture of well-differentiated tissues. This is the commonest ovarian tumour (15-20 per cent).

The granulosa cell tumour is derived from the sex cord stroma and frequently secretes oestrogen, producing precocious puberty, endometrial hyperplasia and cancer.

Mucinous cystadenoma are benign, but may rupture shedding seedlings of mucin secreting neoplastic cells into the peritoneal cavity.

Virilization (A) occurs in tumours of sex cord origin which secrete androgens (SertoliLeydig cell tumours).

The dysgerminoma is histologically identical to the testicular seminoma (C).
