Ovarian clear cell adenofibroma is uncommon, and borderline clear cell adenofibroma (low malignant potential) is extremely rare. Borderline clear cell adenofibromas may represent the precursor lesion of clear cell adenocarcinoma of the ovary, but this has not been established. We present a case of a woman in her mid-50s with a clear cell adenofibroma ranging from benign to borderline to frankly invasive. While some clear cell adenocarcinomas are thought to arise from endometriosis, this range of findings supports the theory that some ovarian clear cell adenocarcinomas originate from borderline tumors.

ObjectiveThe S100P protein stimulates cell proliferation and survival, thereby contributing to cancer progression. The purposes of this study were to evaluate S100P expression in ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma and to determine whether S100P expression was correlated with the clinicopathological features or prognoses of patients with clear cell adenocarcinoma.MethodsWe examined S100P expression in 30 ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma specimens using immunohistochemistry analysis. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for analysis of overall survival, and comparisons were made based on the log-rank test.ResultsNegative staining for nuclear S100P was associated with a poor prognosis as compared with that of positive staining for nuclear S100P in specimens from patients with clear cell adenocarcinoma.ConclusionsThese data suggested that S100P may serve as an independent prognostic factor and marker for acquired resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs in clear cell adenocarcinoma.
