Q

Describe the histological features of fibromas

A

Fibromas are made almost entirely of fibroblasts.
Cellular fibromas are a type of fibroma characterized by:
- mildly increased cellular density,
- mild nuclear atypia, and an
- average of three or fewer mitotic figures per 10 high power fields (HPF)

Q

Describe the histological appearance of adult granulosa cell tumours?

A

Contain small, bland, cuboidal (to polygonal) cells with scant cytoplasm and pale, uniform and usually grooved nuclei (coffee bean). Mitotic activity is usually not brisk ( < 3 / 10 HPF)

  • Hypervascular stroma with vairable amounts of fibroblasts and theca cells
  • cells may arrange themselves in small clusters or rosette around a central cavity - termed call exner bodies.

Q

When does a thecoma or fibroma with sex cord elements become categorised as a granulosa cell tumour?

A
  • need 10% granulosa cells to be classified as adult granulosa cell tumor, otherwise best classified as thecoma or fibroma with minor sex cord element
21
Q

What is a call-exner body?

A

Are small eosinophilic fluid filled punched out spaced between granulosa cells. The granulosa cells are usually arranged haphazardly around the space. They are pathognomonic for granulosa cell tumours.

22
Q

What % of granulosa cell tumours are adult and juvenile?

A

95% adult and 5 % Juvenile.

What is first and second line chemotherapy for Dysgerminoma

A 
1st like BEP

for 3 or 4 cycles depending on prognosis. with bone marrow support.
2nd Line TIP
Taxol, Ifosphamide, Cisplatin.
40
Q

Does adjuvant CT effect survival for Stage IC Germ cell tumours of the Ovary

A

MITO 9 included ~40 women with Stage IC - chemotherapy made no difference to OS
Recurrences were salvageable with OT/CT

41
Q

Is BSO and hysterectomy associated with improved survival in SCST?

A

In retrospective analysis fertility sparing was not associated with worse outcomes in women with stage I and II disease.

42
Q

What is the median time to recurrence of Granulosa cell tumours? What is the range.

A

Median time 4-6yrs. Can recur up to 30 years post diagnosis.

43
Q

What are RF for recurrence of Granulosa cell tumours

A 
Older age at disease onset
stage at diagnosis
Sub-optimal debulking surgery
tumour size greater than 5cm
Diffuse histologic pattern
44
Q

Which Sex cord stromal tumours produce hormones?

A

SCST an steroid cell tumours are a heterogenous group of tumours and vary in their capacity to produce clinically significant amounts of steroid hormones.

45
Q

Sertoli Leydig tumours typically secrete?

A

Androgen and there is clinical virilisaiton in 70-85% of women.

46
Q

In morphological ambiguous sex cord stromal tumors a panel of inhibin alpha, calretinin and FOXL2 can confirm the diagnosis of:

A

Adult granulosa cell tumour.

47
Q

What is the recommended treatment of Stage IA dysgerminoma? What is the rate of recurrence?

A

Surveillance is recommended.

The recurrence rate is between 15 - 25%.

48
Q

What are 3 histological differences between JGCT and AGCT

A

Juvenile has more mitosis, no coffee beans and larger more irregular follicles

49
Q

How are immature teratoma graded?

A

Based on the number of low-power microscopic fields containing immature neuroepithelium in any one slide. 1 LPF = Grade 1, 2 = Grade 2. 3 = Grade 3
