| Abstract |
A high serum estradiol (E2) level is occasionally detected in postmenopausal women with common epithelial ovarian tumors with functioning stroma. It has been proven that functioning stroma has the capacity to convert androgens to estrogens. However, the mechanism of the initiation and development of functioning stroma remains unclear. We present two cases of elevated E2 levels in elderly women with ovarian mucinous adenocarcinomas that contained functioning stroma. Immunohistochemical evaluation revealed high expression levels of aromatase and steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1), which is considered to be a master regulator of steroidogenesis, in their ovarian stroma. These cases suggest that overexpression of SF-1 may promote estrogen biosynthesis through regulation of P450 aromatase expression in ovarian tumors with functioning stroma; this in turn induces high serum E2 levels in postmenopausal women with common epithelial ovarian tumors. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 December 2015.
All research outputs
#18,431,664
of 22,834,308 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Ovarian Research
#318
of 588 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#201,999
of 281,499 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Ovarian Research
#5
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,834,308 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 588 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 281,499 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
