Gross photo of a malignant ovarian tumour. (WC/Doc James)

The article examines ovarian tumours including ovarian cancer.

An introduction to the ovary is in the ovary article, which also deals benign cysts.

What was labeled "ovarian cancer" in the past may really arise from fallopian tube.[1] The label tubo-ovarian cancer has been advocated to address this change. These tumours are dealt with in this article.

Clinical

Gynecologists use a scoring system to help decide which patients need surgery and estimate their pre-op risk of malignancy.

Risk of malignancy index

  • Abbreviated RMI.
  • There are two versions.[2]

Definition

Elements

Elements & points (RMI 2):[2]

  1. Ultrasound features.
    • Significant findings: multilocular cyst, solid component, bilateral lesions, ascites, suspected intra-abdominal metastases (one finding=1 point, two or more findings=4 points).
  2. Menopause/pre-menopause status (menopausal=4 points, pre-menopausal=1 point).
  3. CA-125 (blood test) in U/ml.

Interpretation

  • RMI > 200 -- predicts malignancy.

Classification

The Latta rule of fives

Can be divided as follows:[3][4]

  1. Surface epithelial tumours (most common).
  2. Sex cord stromal tumours (SCSTs).
  3. Germ cell tumours (GCTs).
  4. Metastatic tumours.
  5. Rare stuff that doesn't fit in any of the above (e.g. leiomyoma, angiosarcoma, ovarian small cell carcinoma of the hypercalcemic type).

Surface epithelial tumours:

  1. Serous carcinoma.
    • High-grade serous carcinoma. †
    • Low-grade serous carcinoma.
  2. Endometrioid carcinoma.
  3. Mucinous carcinoma.
  4. Clear cell carcinoma.
  5. Brenner tumour.

Note:

  • † Transitional cell tumours[5] are now grouped with high-grade serous carcinoma.[6][7]

Sex cord stromal tumours:

  1. Granulosa cell tumour (adult type, juvenile type).
  2. Sertoli cell tumour.
  3. Leydig cell tumour.
  4. Fibroma.
  5. Thecoma.

Germ cell tumours:

  1. Dysgerminoma.
  2. Endodermal sinus tumour (yolk sac tumour).
  3. Embryonal carcinoma.
  4. Choriocarcinoma.
  5. Teratoma.

Common special tumours

Endometriosis-related tumours

Tumours associated with endometriosis:[8]

  1. Endometrioid.
  2. Clear cell carcinoma.
  3. Endocervical mucinous (AKA Seroumucinous type and Muellerian type).

Solid ovarian tumours

Simple version: basically anything sex cord stromal.

List:[9]

  • Brenner tumour.
  • SCSTs:
    • Fibroma.
    • Thecoma.
    • Fibrothecoma.
    • Leydig tumour.
    • Sertoli cell tumour.
    • Sertoli-Leydig tumour.
    • Granulosa cell tumour.
    • Granulosa-theca cell tumour.

A morphologic approach

Where is the tumour arising?

  • Central location -- think GCTs and SCST.
  • Surface of ovary -- think surface epithelial tumour.
    • If no surface is apparent... possibly obliterated by tumour.

Spindle cell morphology?

  • Consider sex cord stromal tumours.

Nests of cells?

  • Consider Brenner tumour.

Gland-like structures?

  • Endometrioid carcinoma.
  • Granulosa cell tumour.

"Dirty necrosis":

  • Definition: cellular debris within gland lumen.[10]
  • Characteristic of colorectal adenocarcinoma, may be absent in ovarian tumours -- limited value.[11]

Grading of ovarian cancer

  • Silverberg grading system,[12] aka universal grading system.
  • Based on pattern, cytologic atypia and mitotic rate.
  • System somewhat similar to breast grading, which can be remembered as: TNM (tubular formation, nuclear atypia, mitotic rate).

Silverberg system

  • Pattern:
    • Glandular = 1.
    • Papillary = 2.
    • Solid = 3.
  • Cytologic atypia:
    • Slight = 1.
    • Moderate = 2.
    • Marked = 3.
  • Mitoses (see note below):
    • 0-9/(0.345 x10 mm^2) = 1.
    • 10-24/(0.345 x10 mm^2) = 2.
    • >=25/(0.345 x10 mm^2) = 3.

Composite score (pattern score + cytologic score + mitotic score):

  • Grade I = 3-5.
  • Grade II = 6-7.
  • Grade III = 8-9.

Note:

  • Most resident microscopes have an eyepiece diameter of 22 mm. Thus, the approximate field diameter is 0.55 mm (22 mm/40 X = 0.55 mm), at highest magnification, and the field area is 0.23758 mm^2 (pi*(0.55/2)^2=0.23758 mm^2).
  • The number of HPFs should be adjusted if the area per field is different than 0.345 mm^2.
    • If the field diameter is 0.55 mm and the sample area is 3.45 mm^2, this is equivalent to 14.52 HPFs (3.45 mm^2 / 0.23758 mm^2 = 14.52); thus, it would be appropriate to use 15 HPFs and the cut points above.

Predictive power of Silverberg grading

Good correlation with five year survival (rounded values):[13]

  • Grade I = 90%.
  • Grade II = 65%.
  • Grade III = 40%.

Peritoneal implants

General

Applies only to:

Classification

There are two types:[14]

  1. Non-invasive implants.
    • Subdivided into:
      1. Epithelial.
      2. Desmoplastic.
  2. Invasive implants -- malignant cells within the stroma.

Notes:

  • Invasive implants are significant clinically.
  • Non-invasive implants have little clinical significance.

Microscopic

Non-invasive implant

Features (non-invasive implant epithelial-type):[15]

  • Papillary proliferation on surface.
  • +/-Smooth contoured invagination into:
    • Submesothelium.
    • Omental fat lobules.
  • No "stromal response":
    • Fibrosis.
  • +/-Psammoma bodies.

Features (non-invasive implant desmoplastic-type):[15]

  • Stromal reaction restricted to the:
    • Serosal surface.
    • Fibrous septae.
  • +/-Psammoma bodies.

Note:

  • No "destructive invasion".
    • Irregular infiltration.

Invasive implant

Features (invasive implant):[15]

  • Irregular infiltration of tumour into the submesothelial tissue - key feature - characterized by:
    • +/-Solid nests.
    • +/-Small glands +/- irregular "bridging" connections between glands - common.
  • Nuclear atypia - common.
  • +/-Psammoma bodies.

Stains

  • Elastin stain:[14]
    • Non-invasive implants are sit superficial to the peritoneal elastic lamina (PEL).
    • Invasive implants are deep to the PEL.

Note:

  • Elastin layer is not present in the omentum.

IHC

  • Elastin stain.

Staging of ovarian cancer

  • The CAP protocol talks of in the pelvis and outside the pelvis - pT2 versus pT3.
  • Omental involvement is considered outside the pelvis; it is pT3.[16]

Surface epithelial tumours

Most common subtypes - in short:[17]

  • Serous:
  • Endometrioid:
    • Tubular glands.
    • Squamous differentiation (eosinophilic cytoplasm, well-defined cell borders, +/-keratin).
  • Mucinous:
    • Tall columnar cells with mucin.
    • Glands with mucin.

Where to start when considering a malignant (epithelial) tumour of the ovary:

Features Serous Endometrioid Mucinous
Histology low grade: cilia, columnar cells, psammoma bodies, papillary arch.; high grade: marked nuclear pleomorphism, prominent red nucleoli, psammoma bodies gland forming - esp. cribriforming, endometrium-like mucinous glands, colon-like
Differentiators cilia, psammoma bodies squamous metaplasia mucin, often lack of necrosis
Associations atrophy endometriosis, endometrial hyperplasia (?)
Typical age usually 60s+ 40-60 varies (?)
Grade typically high grade typically low grade often low
IHC p53 +ve (diffuse), WT-1 +ve, CA-125 +ve, D2-40 +ve WT-1 -ve CK7 +ve, CK20 +ve (other tumours CK7 +ve, CK20 -ve)
Main DDx poorly diff. endometrioid serous metastatic tumour (usually GI)

Serous tumours - overview

General

  • Most common malignant ovarian tumour.

Classification

Based on features predictive of behaviour:[18]

  • Benign.

    • May have pseudostratification of epithelial cells.
    • "Usually, borderline if first impression is borderline."[19]
  • Malignant.
    • Cytologic atypia.
    • +/-Papillae.

Microscopic

Features:[18]

Note:

  • In serous borderline tumours, micropapillae are thought to have significance -- assoc. with increased risk of distant recurrence[20][21][22] - though is disputed.[23]
  • Psammoma bodies may be seen in endosalpingiosis.[24]

Mucinous ovarian tumours

General

  • Common.
  • Tumours may be heterogenous; benign appearing epithelium may be beside clearly malignant epithelium.
  • Good sampling of mucinous tumours, i.e. many blocks, is important to lessen the chance of undercalling them.

Subtypes

  1. Endocervical type.
    • Less likely to be malignant.
    • More common than malignant type.
  2. Intestinal type.
    • More likely to be malignant.
    • Goblet cells. (???)
      • One large clear apical vacuole.
    • If it doesn't look like intestine to you... it probably isn't.
    • May vaguely resemble colorectal adenocarcinoma (hyperchromatic, columnar nuclei, nuclear pleomorphism).

Comparison of mucosa:

Classification

  • Benign. (Dx: mucinous cystadenoma or mucinous adenofibroma or mucinous cystadenofibroma)
    • Single layer of cells.
