Gyne Flashcards
Gross and micro features of polycystic overian disease
Gross - rounded and enlarged ovaries, usually bilateral
- multiple small subcortical follicles, typically similar in size
Micro - fibrous and thick ovarian capsule
- Hyperplastic ovarian stroma
- No stigmata of prior ovulation
Nonneoplastic cysts of ovary and histology of each
Epithelial inclusion cyst - single layer of flat to columnar epithelium +/- cilitated. <1cm (if >1cm, then called serous cystadenoma)
Follicular cyst - uniloculated with inner layer composed of granulosa cells and outer layer theca cells
Corpus luteum cyst - luteinized granulosa cells with outer layers of luteinized theca cells
Endometriotic cyst - lined by endometrial glandular epithelium, underlying endometrial stroma, hemosiderin laden macs
Polycystic ovarian disease - fibrous and thick capsule, hyperplasia ovarian stroma
Hyperreactio luteinalis - multiple follicular cysts with luteinized theca and granulosa layers, edema, luteinized stroma
Histologic types of epithelial neoplasms of the ovary
Serous - benign, borderline, low grade, high grade
Endometrioid - benign, borderline, malignant
Clear cell - benign, borderline, malignant
Mucinous - benign, borderline, malignant
Seroumucinous - benign, borderline, malignant
Brenner - benign, borderline, malignant
Others: mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated and dediff CA, carcinosarcoma, mixed carcinoma
Diagnosis of mixed carcinoma
Essential: presence of at least 2 ovarian carcinoma histological types with components showing distinct and unequivocal differences by histomorphology
Desirable: differences between the two areas based on ancillary studies
Importance of accurate classification of epithelial tumors of the ovary
Present at different stages
Require different treatment/adjuvant therapy
Respond differently to chemo
Different prognosis and survival
Different molecular
CAP protocol requirements for ovarian/fallopian tube resections
History

Tumor size
Histologic type, grade
Ovarian surface involvement
Fallopian tube surface involvement

Other tissue involvement
Largest extrapelvic peritoneal focus
Peritoneal/ascitic fluid involvement
Chemotherapy response scpre
Regional LN status
Distant sites involved
Importance of ovarian integrity and rupture
Rupture may spill malignant cells into abdominal cavity, which may influence treatment
There may be small surface carcinomas
Important to note, in cases when there are benign/borderline/malignant areas, which has ruptured
Omentum grossing
If tumor identifiable, submit representative sections
For borderline or immature teratoma with grossly apparent implants, submit multiple sections
Take 1 per 2cm of normal omentum
Importance of LVI in ovarian carcinomas
Does not impact staging
No prognostic significance
May raise suspicion for metastatic disease to the ovary in cases such as mucinous CA
AJCC T staging for ovary, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal CA
pT1: Limited to ovaries
pT1a: limited to 1 ovary
pT1b: limited to both ovaries
pT1c: Limited to one or both ovaries with any of the following: surgical spill, capsule rupture, surface involvement, malignant ascites
pT2: Tumor involves 1-2 ovaries/FTs with pelvic extension below pelvic brim or primary peritoneal CA
pT3: Essentially pT2 with mets outside the pelvis/retroperitoneal LNs
AJCC N staging for ovary, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal CA
pN0(i+): ITCs </=0.2mm
pN1: Pos retroperitoneal nodes only
pN1a: met up to 10mm
pN1b: met greater than 10mm
AJCC M staging for ovary, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal CA
pM1a: Pleural effusion with + cytology
pM1b: liver of splenic parenchymal metws, mets to extrabdominal LNs, transmural involvement of bowel
Most common histologic subtype of familial ovarian CA and common mutations associated with it
High grade serous
BRCA1/2
How to submit Ovary and FTs in patients with BRCA mutations or suspected increased risk of HBOT
Ovarian and tubal tissue should be serially sectioned and submitted in toto
FTs submitted according to SEE-FIM protocol
Types of serous neoplasms of ovary and their histologic characteristics
Serous cystadenoma, cystadenofibroma, adenofibroma, surface papilloma : cystic or papillary with broad papillae and/or small glands in prominent fibromatous stroma or as small simple papillae on surface
Serous borderline tumors: Hierarchical branching papillae with variable amounts of stroma in cores, stratified epithelial lining with tufting/cell detachment, mild to moderate atypia
- implant = extraovarian disease, noninvasive
- autoimplant = desmoplastic implant on ovarian surface
- SBT with microinvasion: <5mm
SBT, micropap/cribriform subtypes: area of pure micropap/crib growth >5mm, elongated micropap at least 5x longer than wide, with medusa head appearance. Small punched out crib spaces
LGSC: SBT with extraovarian invasion (invasive implant), variety of patterns (small nests, glands, papillae, micropap, inverted macropap)
- frequently free-floating within unlined clear spaces
- Psammoma bodies, mid-mod atypia, rare necrosis
- Coexisting SBT
HGSC: Heterogenous patterns, significant atypia, markedly increased mits, atypical mits, necrosis and multinucleated cells
Difference in management of various types of serous neoplasms
Benign: unilateral oophorectomy
Borderline: removal of all visible disease with peritoneal and omental sampling, no retroperi LN sampling
LGSC: THBSO, omentectomy, LN dissection, resect all visible disease, postoperative chemo depending on stage
HGSC: neoadjuvant therapy as required, surgery, chemo
Prognosis of each type of serous neoplasms
Benign: 100% survival
Borderline: depends on stage
- Stage I: good
- Advanced stage: 4-7% develop LGSC, rarely HGSC
LGSC: depends on stage
- Early: good
- Advanced: poor
HGSC: generally poor

Micropap/crib subtype

Significance of SBT in LNs

Must exclude: endosalpingiosis, psammomatous calcs with no epithelial cells, nodal mesothelial hyperplasia, metastatic LGSC
More common in subcapsular sinuses
Not considered an adverse prognostic factor
