Microscopical sections of 49 ovarian tumors were assessed as benign, borderline or malignant by 4 pathologists who were unaware of the FIGO [International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics] stage and clinical follow-up of each patient and each others diagnoses. There was absolute agreement in 37 cases (75.5%) and disagreement in 12 cases (24.5%). The majority of the disagreements involved borderline-malignant differences. If 1 pathologist did disagree with the other 3 (9 cases or 18%), there was no correlation between disagreement and histopathological experience. In 3 cases (6.5%) 2 pathologists did disagree with the other 2. Objective, reproducible and, if possible, quantitative techniques should be used in pathology instead of subjective grading methods. The probability of the diagnosis should be expressed in a numerical way.
