Advised CA 125 – 605 U/ml (0-35 U/ml) CT Abdomen. CT Abdomen Large multiseptated cystic masses in both ovaries with mild omental and mesenteric stranding noted on both sides – ? malignant mass lesions. Suggested clinical and histopathology correlation.
Treatment Plan Patient underwent staging laparotomy under spinal and epidural anesthesia. This was followed by six cycles of chemotherapy ( cisplatin and paclitenel ) three weeks apart.
PAP Smear Report Non-specific Inflammatory smear. Negative for Intraepithelial Lesion/Malignancy.
Gross Examination Received uterus and cervix with attached bilateral adnexa . The uterus and cervix measures 9x5x4cm. The external surface of the uterus is unremarkable. The external surface of the cervix is hypertrophied and everted . The cut section of the uterus and cervix shows endocervical canal measuring 2.5cm endometrial canal measuring 4.5cm endometrial thickness measuring 0.6cm.
Gross Examination One of the attached ovary is partially cystic measuring 11x7x2.5cm.

Gross Examination Also received container labelled omentum . Received two grey yellow fibrofatty tissue masses, the largest measuring 15x8x2cm and the smallest measuring 7.5x3.5x0.5cm. The cut section of the largest fibrofatty tissue mass shows grey white areas measuring 14.5 x 3 cm.
Microscopical Examination Section studied from both lips of cervix show features of chronic papillary endocervicitis . Sections studied from the corpus – Endometrium - Proliferative phase. Myometrium – Adenomyosis (H&E,x4)
Microscopical Examination Tumor deposits in the omentum (H&E, x4) (H&E, x4)
Microscopical Examination Sections studied from both the ovarian masses show cystic areas lined by tumor cells projecting into the lumen in form of complex branching papillae with central fibrovascular core having hierarchical pattern lined by columnar cells with nuclear stratification and vesicular nuclei. Large areas of hemorrhage and necrosis are seen. The wall of the cyst shows invasion by solid nests and sheets of tumor cells having scanty to moderate eosinophilic cytoplasm, enlarged vesicular nuclei with pleomorphism . There are 12-15 mitoses/ hpf . Focal areas with micropapillae formation, calcification and psammoma bodies are seen.
Microscopical Examination Tumor emboli is present. Section studied from foci of capsular breach of both ovaries show tumor deposits and invasion of capsule. Section studied from one side Fallopian tube shows dense lymphocytic infiltration, few psammoma bodies are seen in the sub-mucosa. Section studied from other side Fallopian tube is unremarkable. Section from omentum shows deposits of tumor cells arranged in the form of solid nests, complex papillae with central fibrovascular core.

DISCUSSION
Ovarian tumours Tumour of the ovary are common form of neoplasia in women Accounts for 3% of all cancers in females 80% are benign More common in older white women of northern European ancestry 90% of malignancies are carcinoma, 80% have spread beyond the ovary at diagnosis.
Risk factors for carcinoma Nulliparity Family history Childhood gonadal dysgenesis Clomiphene Hereditary non polyposis colon cancer BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations CA-125 present in 80% of serous and endometrioid tumours Cytogenetics -gain of 12 & 8 loss of chr X,22 18,17,14,13,12 & 8 , benign/borderline tumor exhibit trisomy12

Immunohistochemistry of serous tumors keratin profile CK 7+/ CK20- Also CK8, CK18, CK19, EMA, S100 WT-1 stains diffusely most serous carcinomas
Ovarian implants Deposits of ovarian tumours on peritoneal surface. Entire peritoneum may contain tumour nodules<1 cm. Seen in 1/3 patients with serous borderline and malignant tumours . Affect prognosis. Unencapsulated serous tumors of the ovarian surface are more likely to extend to the peritoneal surfaces
Ovarian Implants Benign implants: Tumor deposits formed by glandular and tubular structures lined with benign-appearing epithelium without the presence of endometrial stromal cells surrounding the glandular structures of psammoma bodies is not rare in this type of lesion. Benign implants are found in 22% of patients with LMP serous tumors. This type of implant should be staged and treated as stage I lesion.
Ovarian Implants Non-invasive Implants: These implants are defined as tumor deposits with histologic characteristics similar to those found in low malignant potential tumors but without invasion of the surrounding stroma and often with a subserosa location. In these cases, it is believed that they are formed from invaginations of mesothelial cells. Occasionally, they are intracystic . This type of implant is found in 37% of patients with LMP serous tumors.
Ovarian Implants Invasive Implants : This type of implant is found in 13% of patients with LMP serous tumors. Tumor deposits similar to noninvasive implants, but with invasion of the desmoplastic stroma by individual tumor cells are defined as invasive. The margins of the invasive implants are poorly demarcated. The invasive tumor resembles a well-differentiated invasive serous adenocarcinoma . The desmoplastic stroma displays loose fibrous connective tissue with an inflammatory response.
Invasive Implants : Implants from LMP serous tumors are found (from the highest to the lowest frequency) pelvic peritoneum, omentum , uterus, fallopian tubes, colon, appendix, abdominal peritoneum, small intestine, periaortic lymph nodes, liver capsule, and diaphragm. Patients with invasive implants have a less favorable prognosis. More than one type of implant may be found in the same patient
