Objective:
To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of primary ovarian mucinous adenocarcinoma.
Methods:
The clinical data of 28 patients with primary ovarian mucinous adenocarcinoma from April 2006 to December 2018 in Dalian Maternity Hospital Affiliated to Dalian Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The pathological sections were reviewed, and the clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining.
Results:
Among 28 patients, the average age of patients was 46.5 (22 to 64) years. Ten cases were found by health examination, 15 cases showed lower abdominal discomfort, and 3 cases had irregular vaginal bleeding. Pelvic ultrasound examination showed heterogeneous internal echoes in adnexal region, and serum tumor marker levels did not significantly increase. The diameters of tumors were 8 to 32 cm, with an average of 16.5 cm. The unilateral ovarian tumor was in 26 cases, and bilateral ovarian tumor was in 2 cases. Most of tumors were solid-cystic with viscous liquid or jelly-like substance inside the cystic, accompanied with solid papillae or nodules. Microscopically, tumors were composed with gastrointestinal epithelium. Eighteen cases had borderline mucinous tumors with focal fusion infiltrating carcinoma; 10 cases had fusion infiltrating carcinoma dominant, while there were 2 cases whose tumor exhibited focal invasive infiltration. Immunohistochemical result showed that the positive rates of cytokeratin (CK) 7, CK20 and tail-type homeobox gene (CDX) 2 were 100.0% (28/28), 71.4% (20/28) and 53.6% (15/28); the positive rates of paired box gene (PAX) 8 and special AT-rich sequence-binding protein (SATB) 2 were 14.3%(4/28) and 10.7% (3/28). According to the ovarian carcinoma stage standard of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2014, Ⅰ stage was in 21 cases, Ⅱstage in 4 cases, Ⅲ stage in 2 cases, and Ⅳ stage in 1 case. The patients were followed up for 3 to 120 months, with an average of 55 months. No recurrence or metastasis was in 17 cases (FIGO Ⅰ stage 16 cases, FIGO Ⅱ stage 1 case); recurrent within 2 years was in 5 cases (FIGO Ⅱ stage 2 cases, Ⅲ stage 2 cases, Ⅳ stage 1 case), of which 4 cases died within 5 years (FIGO Ⅱ stage 1 case, Ⅲ stage 2 cases, Ⅳ stage 1 case); lost to follow-up was in 6 cases (FIGO Ⅰ stage 5 cases, FIGO Ⅱ stage 1 case).
Conclusions
Primary ovarian mucinous adenocarcinoma is rare, and it has no specific clinical symptoms. It is mainly characterized by fusion infiltration. Immunohistochemical result shows that CK7 is always positive, the expressions of CK20 and CDX2 are different degree, and SATB2 and PAX-8 are mostly negative. Prognosis is closely related with FIGO stage, and the patients with FIGO Ⅰ stage have good prognoses, Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage have poor prognoses. It should be distinguished from ovarian metastatic mucinous tumor.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features of ovarian malignant tumor with thyroid components. Methods The clinical and pathological data of ovarian malignant tumor withthyroid component were collected from May 2006 to March 2018, including four cases of stroumal carcinoid and one case of metastatic thyroid follicular carcinoma, and the related literature was also reviewed. Results Ages of 5 cases ranged from 25 to 65 years old, and pelvic mass or abdominal discomfort was presented in physical examination. Tumors were unilateral, and mainly on the left side. The diameter of tumors was 5 to 13 cm with cyst or solid mainly. The strumal and carcinoid components were seen in strumal carcinoid. The insular and trabecular carcinoid were the common types of carcinoid. The synaptophysin (Syn) and chromogranin (CgA) were positive by immunohistochemistry. The patient with metastatic thyroid follicular carcinoma of ovary had a history of thyroid nodules for 13 years and the tumor grew rapidly in a short time. Under the microscope, dense thyroid follicles were arranged in papillary or diffuse distribution. Tumor cells were rich in eosinophilic cytoplasm and accompanied by follicular cell tumor-like hyperplasia. Conclusions Papillary tumor and strumal carcinoid are the most common primary malignant tumors of ovary with thyroid component, which both presented low malignancy and good prognosis. Ovarian metastasis from thyroid cancer is extremely rare and needs to be differentiated from primary ovarian thyroid cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features of ovarian borderline seromucinous tumor. Methods The clinical data of 22 ovarian borderline seromucinous tumor from April 2015 to March 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinicopathological features were summarized by immunohistochemical staining with EnVision method. Results The age of patients was 23 to 66 years, with an average age of 39.2 years and a median age of 36 years. In the 22 patients, 14 patients were found by physical examination, 7 patients had abdominal discomfort or irregular vaginal bleeding, 4 patients had a history of dysmenorrheal, and 5 patients had cancer antigen 125 and/ or carcinoembryonic antigen elevation. Ultrasonography revealed mass in the adnexal region. The average diameter of these tumors was 7.2 cm. The tumors were cystic or cystic solid property and contained viscid or hemorrhagic fluid, with endogenous or exogenous papilla. Microscopically, these tumors showed complex papillary architecture and the larger papillae tended to have edematous stroma containing neutrophils. The epithelium lining the papillae was typically stratified and mostly composed of endocervical-type mucinous or serous epithelium, but endometrioid epithelium was not unusual. Eleven patients had endometriosis, and 2 cases occurred peritoneal or omental tumor implantation respectively. Immunohistochemistry showed that the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), paired box gene (PAX) 8 and cytokeratin (CK) 7 were positive in different degrees, and the CK20 and tail-type homeobox gene (CDX) 2 were negative in all patients. Twenty patients were International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO)Ⅰstage without recurrence or metastasis in 3 to 36 months (average 13.6 months)′ follow-up. Conclusions Most patients with the ovarian borderline seromucinous tumor are young without specific clinical symptoms. Tumor is associated with endometriosis and maybe has characteristic histological changes. Attention should be paid to the differentiation from borderline serous and mucinous tumor before the final diagnosis. Most patients with ovarian borderline seromucinous tumor are FIGO Ⅰ stage and have the good prognosis. The clinical treatment is referred to the treatment of borderline endometrioid tumors.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features of metastatic ovarian tumors from digestive system.Methods:The clinicopathological and follow-up data of 21 patients with metastatic ovarian tumor from digestive system were collected from April 2006 to January 2020 in the Maternity Hospital of Dalian Women and Children′s Medical Group. The pathological slides were reviewed, immunostained by EnVision method, and the clinicopathological features were summarized.Results:Twenty-one cases, aging from 26 to 66 years (average 41.5 years), were treated with chief complaint of abdominal pain, menstrual disorder or pelvic mass. The incidence of bilateral ovarian tumor was 81.0% (17/21), with a diameter of 0.2 to 20.0 cm. Most of tumors were solid and cystic, nodular or lobulated. Microscopically, tumor cells diffusely infiltrated ovarian stroma, accompanied with stromal proliferation and luteinization obviously. Metastatic gastric cancers were mainly signet-ring cell carcinomas, with cytokeratin 7 (CK7) positive, tail homeobox transcription factor 2 (CDX2) and cytokeratin 20 (CK20) partially positive, paired-box gene 8 (PAX8) and special AT-rich sequence binding protein 2 (SATB2) negative; metastatic colorectal cancers were mainly characterized by atypical glands, forming single cells or cribriform structure; metastatic appendix tumors were mostly low-grade tumor cells similar to ovarian borderline tumors and abundant extracellular mucinous, accompanied by peritoneal pseudomyxoma. The CK7 and PAX8 were negative, while the CK20, CDX2 and SATB2 were positive in patients with metastatic ovarian tumor from colorectal cancer and appendix tumor. The average follow-up time was 36 months, 18 patients relapsed within 5 years, 15 patients died; 3 patients were lost to follow-up.Conclusions:The ovarian metastatic tumors from digestive system are mostly bilateral, mainly solid and cystic. Microscopically, they show diffuse interstitial infiltration of tumor cells. The diagnosis should be combined with medical history, clinical symptoms, gross and histological features of tumor and immunohistochemistry, which should be mainly differentiated from primary mucinous ovarian tumor. The overall prognosis is poor.
