Features:[5][6]

  • Spindle cells with central nucleus and no nuclear atypia.
  • Patternless pattern (AKA storiform pattern) - not fascicular, not herring bone.
  • Stainable lipid - minimal or none.[6]

Notes:

  • May be cellular.
  • Mitotic activity minimal.[7]

The sections show spindle cells in a patternless pattern. There is no appreciable nuclear atypia. No mitotic activity is apparent. No necrosis is identified. No calcifications are seen. A small amount of benign ovarian parenchyma is present at the edge of the lesion.
