Eventually these cells grow into a mass, known as tumours. According to Johns Hopkins, ovarian tumours are of three types: Epithelial tumours These are derived from the cells on the surface of the ovary and are the most common form of ovarian cancer that occurs primarily in adults. Germ cell tumours Germ cell tumours are derived from the egg-producing cells within the body of the ovary and happen mainly in children and teenagers. Stromal tumours These tumours are rare in comparison to epithelial tumors and this class of tumors often produces steroid hormones.
