Mural Nodules

Mural nodules of ovarian mucinous borderline tumors are rare. In this study, we report a case of mural nodules of clear cell carcinoma in an intestinal type mucinous borderline tumor of the ovary. The patient was a 54-years-old woman presented with back and pelvic pain for 3 months. A right-sided multiloculated ovarian mass approximately 20 cm was identified on the CT scan. CA-125 was moderately elevated. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and bilateral pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy. Grossly, the right ovarian mass showed a multiloculated cystic mass with mucinous fluid. There were papillations in the internal surface and two mural nodules were seen. Microscopic examination revealed that the cystic mass was an intestinal type borderline mucinous tumor. The mural nodules showed a classic histology of clear cell carcinoma with tubulocystic and papillary growth patterns. This is an extremely rare case of mural nodules of clear cell carcinoma arising in a mucinous borderline tumor.

Unusual Combination

Ovarian seromucinous borderline tumors (SMBTs) are rare. They architecturally resemble serous borderline tumors but are much more frequently associated with endometriosis. The coexistence of other tumors with seromucinous tumors is also extremely rare. Here, we report an unusual combination of bilateral ovarian SMBT and clear cell carcinoma associated with polypoid endometriosis of the colon, in a 62-year-old woman. There was no transitional lesion between the two tumors. Immunohistochemistry showed different staining patterns in tumor components. Seromucinous tumor cells were positive for estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) but negative for Napsin A, p504S, and HNF1B. Clear cell tumor cells were positive for Napsin A and p504S and focally positive for HNF1B but negative for ER and PgR. Loss of ARID1A expression was not observed in SMBTs, clear cell tumors, or endometriosis. These findings suggest that these tumors arose from separate endometriosis foci and collided within the same ovary. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of this unusual combination of ovarian seromucinous tumor and clear cell carcinoma to be reported in the English literature.

Abstract Background: This study attempts to evaluate whether preoperative systemic inflammatory response (SIR) markers or other hematological variables, such as albumin, D-dimer, and carbohydrate antigen 125, play roles in predicting chemotherapy response and survival outcome in patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC).Methods: Preoperative leukocyte differential counts, as well as platelet, serum albumin, plasma D-dimer and CA-125 levels, were measured in patients with FIGO IC-IV ovarian clear cell cancer. The correlations of these hematological biomarkers with clinicopathological features, chemotherapy response, and survival outcomes were further analyzed. Survival time was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier model, whereas Cox regression was conducted for multivariate analysis.Results: Among the 84 patients, 28.6% were classified as platinum resistant, and 69.0% were platinum sensitive. Preoperative CA125, albumin, and D-dimer levels; neutrophil to lymphocyte ratios (NLR); and monocyte to lymphocyte ratios were significantly correlated with FIGO stage, residual tumor, and platinum response. Platelet to lymphocyte ratio was not related to platinum response (P=0.060). The median follow-up time was 28 months (range, 1 to 128 months). Preoperative CA125, albumin, and D-dimer levels were significant prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). In the univariate analysis, only NLR exhibited prognostic significance for PFS (P = 0.007). Multivariate analysis indicated that D-dimer > 3.27 (P = 0.001 for OS; P = 0.040 for PFS) and albumin <39.6 (P = 0.005 for OS and P = 0.041 for PFS) retained significance.Conclusions: Preoperative NLR has some predictive value for platinum resistance in patients with IC-IV stage OCCC but has little predictive effect on prognosis. Elevated D-dimer and reduced albumin might be potential biomarkers for worse response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy and poor clinical outcomes.

Abstract Background: In view of the similar MRI findings of endometriosis-related ovarian neoplasms, this study aimed to investigate the feasibility of whole-tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis for differentiating endometriosis-related tumors: seromucinous borderline tumor (SMBT), clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and endometrioid carcinoma (EC).Methods: A total of 85 patients (22 with SMBT, 42 with CCC and 21 with EC) were retrospectively enrolled. Clinical data including age, stage, laterality, solid component ADC (ADCSC) and whole-tumor ADC histogram-derived parameters, such as the volume, ADCmean, the 10th, 50th and 90th percentile ADCs, inhomogeneity, skewness, kurtosis and entropy, were compared among SMBT, CCC and EC. The diagnostic efficacy of these parameters was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.Results: There were significant differences in age, ADCSC and histogram parameters including volume, ADCmean, the 10th, 50th and 90th percentile ADCs among three kinds of tumors (all p < 0.05). Patients with SMBT were significantly younger than patients with CCC/EC. The significantly higher ADCSC and smaller volume were found in SMBT than in CCC/ EC. The ADCmean was significantly higher in CCC than in EC. The 10th percentile ADC was significantly lower in EC than in SMBT/CCC. The 50th and 90th percentile ADCs were significantly higher in CCC than in SMBT/EC. For differentiating SMBT from CCC, AUCs of the ADCSC, volume, the 50th and 90th percentile ADCs were 0.97, 0.86, 0.72 and 0.81, respectively. For differentiating SMBT from EC, AUCs of the ADCSC, volume and the 10th percentile ADC were 0.97, 0.71 and 0.72, respectively. For differentiating CCC from EC, AUCs of the ADCmean, the 10th, 50th and 90th percentile ADCs were 0.79, 0.72, 0.81 and 0.85, respectively. Conclusions: Similar with ADCSC, whole-tumor ADC histogram analysis was valuable for differentiating endometriosis-related tumors. It was helpful for the 50th, 90th percentile ADCs and volume in differentiating SMBT from CCC; for the volume and 10th percentile ADC in differentiating SMBT from EC, and for the ADCmean, the 10th, 50th and 90th percentile ADCs in differentiating CCC from EC.

Abstract Background Patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) have a poor prognosis because they show low sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy. New treatments for refractory OCCC are urgently needed. Case presentation We present a patient with refractory OCCC in whom conventional chemotherapy failed. Cachexia was induced by the disseminating recurrent tumors. Tumor tissue staining and genomic analysis revealed PD-L1 negativity, a low tumor burden, stable microsatellite instability, and two mutations in ARID1A. The patient was administered pembrolizumab combined with bevacizumab triweekly. Her serum CA-125 level decreased dramatically after the first cycle. A computerized tomography scan showed marked regression of the recurrent masses after 3 cycles, and the patient reached complete remission after 9 cycles. She showed good recovery from cachexia. We observed no marked side effects except for mild polyarthritis of the small joints. Conclusions The therapeutic effect of checkpoint inhibitors combined with angiogenesis inhibitors is very promising in our patient with OCCC. Further clinical trials of tumors including ARID1A mutations are warranted.
