Label	Id	Description
Mucinous Cystadenofibroma	NCIT_C8979	[A benign neoplasm characterized by the presence of cystic structures lined by mucinous columnar epithelial cells in a fibrotic stroma.]
A/J-Mip^Cat_Fr Mutn, McGill U, 1966	NCIT_C15085
Ovarian Mucinous Cystic Tumor with Mural Nodules	NCIT_C40042	[A mucinous cystic tumor of the ovary characterized by the presence of one or more well circumscribed solid nodules in the wall of the cysts (mural nodules) that protrude into the lumen. The mural nodules may be benign (sarcoma-like) or malignant. The malignant mural nodules histologically are anaplastic carcinomas, carcinosarcomas, or sarcomas. The clinical course depends on the histology of the mural nodules. The prognosis of mucinous cystic tumors with benign mural nodules is the same as the corresponding types of mucinous cystic tumors without the mural nodules. Mucinous cystic tumors with malignant mural nodules may follow a malignant clinical course.]
CA Mouse	NCIT_C15086
Commercial Dealer Oslo	NCIT_C15087
Ovarian Mucinous Cystic Tumor Associated with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei	NCIT_C40043	[The presence of abundant mucoid or gelatinous, cellular or acellular material in the pelvis and abdominal cavity (pseudomyxoma peritonei) that is associated with the presence of an ovarian mucinous cystic tumor. In the vast majority of cases, the presence of pseudomyxoma peritonei is the result of metastasis from a primary appendiceal or gastrointestinal tumor site, and the ovarian mucinous tumor is metastatic rather than primary.]
WLL Mouse	NCIT_C15088
Protein	NCIT_C17021	[A group of complex organic macromolecules composed of one or more chains (linear polymers) of alpha-L-amino acids linked by peptide bonds and ranging in size from a few thousand to over 1 million Daltons. Proteins are fundamental genetically encoded components of living cells with specific structures and functions dictated by amino acid sequence.]
WLO Mouse	NCIT_C15089
Endopeptidase	NCIT_C54675	[A class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in the interior of a polypeptide chain or protein molecule.]
Enzyme	NCIT_C16554	[Molecules that catalyze a chemical reaction. They are usually proteins, although catalytic RNA and DNA molecules have been identified.]
Indole Compound	NCIT_C54677	[Any compound that contains the basic indole structure, an aromatic heterocyclic organic compound, consisting of a six-membered benzene ring fused to a five-membered nitrogen-containing pyrrole ring.]
Aromatic Compounds	NCIT_C1915	[Historically, the term "aromatic" originally referred to the smell of selected compounds that later were found to contain benzene or fused benzene rings in the structure. In a structural sense, it designates compounds that, in accordance with the theory of Huckel, have a cyclic, delocalized (4n+2) pi-electron system. This includes arenes and their substitution products (e.g., benzene, naphthalene, toluene). The term has been generalized to include aromatic heterocyclic structures, such as thiophene and pyridine, but it is more precise to call compounds of the latter type heteroaromatic.]
Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Inhibitor	NCIT_C54678	[Any substance that inhibits hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, an enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on steroids, leading to activation or deactivation of the steroid molecule. Inhibition of hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase can be used as a treatment for esophageal ulceration and inflammation.]
Gene Feature Physical Location	NCIT_C54670	[The physical location of a gene feature expressed as chromosome and start and end base positions.]
Candidate Tumor Suppressor Protein	NCIT_C54673	[A protein whose expression is decreased or absent and is associated with one or more types of cancer. However, the function of the protein is currently unknown or has not been characterized.]
Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma	NCIT_C40022	[A rare carcinoma that arises from the peritoneum and resembles the malignant surface epithelial-stromal tumors that arise from the ovary. Serous adenocarcinoma is the most common histologic variant. It affects women almost exclusively. The diagnosis of primary peritoneal carcinoma can be made only if both ovaries are not involved by tumor, or, if the ovaries are involved, the tumor is confined to the ovarian surface without invasion of the ovarian stroma and the peritoneal involvement is greater than the ovarian surface involvement.]
Primary Peritoneal Serous Borderline Tumor/ Primary Peritoneal Atypical Proliferative Serous Tumor	NCIT_C40024	[A serous epithelial tumor that arises from the peritoneum and histologically resembles the serous borderline tumors/atypical proliferative serous tumors that arise from the ovary.]
Borderline Ovarian Serous Tumor/Atypical Proliferative Ovarian Serous Tumor with Microinvasion	NCIT_C40027	[A low grade ovarian epithelial neoplasm characterized by the presence of neoplastic serous epithelial cells, atypia, and microinvasion of the ovarian stroma.]
Borderline Ovarian Serous Adenofibroma	NCIT_C40028	[A low malignant potential adenofibroma arising from the ovary. It is characterized by an atypical epithelial hyperplasia. The epithelial cells are of serous type. There is no evidence of stromal destructive invasion.]
