Miscellaneous Tumors,
Pathology of the Broad
Ligament and Other Uterine
Ligaments
• Site
Broad ligament.
• Clinical Presentation
These tumors may present with abdominal
pain; some areas are incidental findings. Most
patients have von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. Tumors may be unilateral or bilateral
(Zanotelli et al. 2010).
• Treatment
The importan ce of diagnosing this tumor is
because of the association with VHL disease
(and, hence, various tumors of other organs,
including renal cell carcinoma).
• Outcome
All lesions reported so far have been benign.
• Macroscopy
Papillary cystadenoma are up to 4 cm in diameter
and cystic with polypoid papillary protrusions.
• Microscopy
The papillae are generally short and blunted.
The stroma of the papillae varies in cellularity
and may be hyalinized or fibrous. The papillae
are usually lined by a single layer of
low-cuboidal (Fig. 1), non-ciliated cells that
have eosinophilic or clear cytoplasm. Atypia
and necrosis are absent, and mitotic figures are
rare to absent (Fig. 2).

Clinical Features
• Incidence
These tumors are rare; approximately 50 cases
have been reported (Ramirez et al. 2002).
• Age
The patients ranged in age from 15 to 81 years
(Daya. 1994).
• Site
Female adnexal tumor of probable wolffian origin (FATWO) occurs mainly within the leaves
of the broad ligament but may appear as pedunculated lesion arising from it. FATWO may also
be seen in the ovary and the retroperitoneum

much larger and less complex and contain cilia
(Nogales et al. 2012).
Macroscopy
This tumor is typically a well-circumscribed, solid
mass with a bosselated external surface. The cut
surface is pale-yellow, solid in appearance, and
rubbery to palpation but may contain small cysts

Wolffian Origin
Microscopy
Synonyms
Wolffian adnexal tumor; Wolffian tumor.
Definition
This is a rare tumor, which is believed to originate
from mesonephric (wolffian) remnants on the
basis of their shared location in the broad ligament
(Kariminejad and Scully 1973).
The tumor shows a variable admixture of diffuse,
solid, tubular, and sieve-like cystic areas, with the
solid pattern dominating in the majority of cases.
The tubules are closely apposed but do not have a
true luminal border whereas the solid component
has a vaguely spindled appearance (Fig. 3). Most
cases do not show atypia or mitotic figures (Fig. 4)
(Kariminejad and Scully 1973; Daya 1994).

Immunophenotype
The tumor cells are positive for calretinin,
cytokeratin, and vimentin. Epithelial membrane
antigen and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) are
negative (Tiltman and Allard 2001).
Molecular Features
Not clinically relevant.
• Incidence
Ependymoma of the broad ligament is
extremely rare (Zhou et al. 2015).
• Age
Patients range in age from 19 to 67 (average
32) years (Idow et al. 2008).
• Site
Broad ligament.
• Clinical Presentation
Patients present lower abdominal and pelvic
pain; however, some cases are discovered on
routine gynecologic examination (Bell et al.
1984).
• Treatment
Local excision is curative.
• Outcome
Information regarding outcome is limited;
however, in at least three patients, the tumor
had spread beyond the broad ligament (Bell
et al. 1984).

Tumors of the Rete Ovarii
Synonyms
These masses may be called adenoma of rete
ovarii, rete ovarii cystadenoma (transformation
to adenocarcinoma of rete ovarii is an extremely
rare manifestation).
Definition
Tumors arising from the rete ovarii, a vestigial
structure present in the ovarian hilus that is histologically identical to its testicular homologue.
• Treatment
Surgical excision of the tumor showed
progression-free survival and overall survival,
while surgery and oncologic treatment is indi-
cated for adenocarcinomas.
• Outcomes
When benign, the prognosis is good; however,
adenocarcinomas have a more aggressive
behavior (Rutgers and Scully 1988).
Macroscopy
Usually unilateral and unilocular with a smooth
lining and filled with serous fluid, these tumors
range from 1 to 24 cm with a mean size of 8.7 cm.
Rete ovarii adenomas are not grossly evident but
may rarely be seen as a solid or mixed solid-cystic
mass. Adenocarcinomas are large tumors presenting with solid and cystic areas on cut surface.
Microscopy
Adenomas of the rete ovarii are lined by bland,
mitotically inactive, flat, cuboidal, or columnar
cells. There is scant eosinophilic cytoplasm with
rare cilia and focal transitional cell metaplasia.
These lesions tend to be circumscribed and composed of tightly packed tubules, which may
become cystic and contain simple papillae. The
tubules are similarly lined by bland, mitotically
inactive cuboidal or columnar cells.
Clinical Features
• Incidence
They represent less than 1% of ovarian tumors
(Rutgers and Scully 1988). Adenocarcinomas
are extremely rare.
• Age
Most common in postmenopausal patients.
• Clinical presentation
Patients present with abdominal discomfort
and pressure, virilization, hirsutism, and pelvic
mass. Adenomas tend to be incidental findings.
The only case of rete ovarii adenocarcinoma
presented with abdominal swelling and ascites
in a 52-year-old woman.
• Sex
Female.
• Site
Ovary.
Immunophenotype
These adenomas and adenocarcinomas are positive for CAM 5.2, cytokeratin 19, CA125, CD10,
and may occasionally stain for epithelial membrane antigen as well as estrogen and progesterone receptors.
Differential Diagnosis
The major differential diagnosis to compare the
tumors of the rete ovarii against are serous
cystadenomas and serous adenocarcinomas,
which usually contain one (but may contain
more) smooth glistening, thin-walled cyst filled
with clear, watery serous fluid. In general, the
histopathology of the serous neoplasms mimic
the epithelium of the fallopian tubes, in that the
cysts are lined by a single layer of cuboidal to low
columnar ciliated cells without nuclear atypia;

Miscellaneous Tumors, Pathology of the Ovary 285
https://t.me/med1917
however, they may also be lined with non-ciliated
cuboidal to columnar secretory cells. Psammoma
bodies may be present in serous cystadenomas as
well as serous adenocarcinomas (Gattuso et al.
2015).
Wolffian Tumor
Synonyms
Female adnexal tumor of probable Wolffian origin.
Definition
A tumor of Wolffian origin arising in the ovary or
adjacent to it and expanding into it.
Clinical Features
• Incidence
This is an uncommon ovarian neoplasm
(Young and Scully 1983).
• Age
Patients range in age from 24 to 87 years old.
Most are postmenopausal.
• Clinical presentation
Patients may present with abdominal enlargement, abdominal pain, abdominal mass, postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, and urinary
frequency (Young and Scully 1983).
• Sex
Female.
• Site
Ovary.
• Treatment
The most common treatment is hysterectomy
and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy as well as
tumor debulking. The role of adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation therapy is unknown. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor Gleevec (STI571) is a
treatment option in cases of recurrent or metastatic c-kit (CD117) expressing tumors (Steed
et al. 2004).
• Outcomes
This entity is usually benign and confined to
the ovary. There have been rare cases in which
the tumor presented with advanced stage disease or behaved in a malignant fashion after
resection. Malignant behavior is associated
with cytologic atypia and increased mitoti c
activity. Occasionally, tumors with minimal
nuclear atypia and very low mitotic rates have
recurred (Deen et al. 2007).
Macroscopy
Tumors are unilateral, solid, or a mixture of solid
and cystic. They range from gray to white, tan, or
yellow and may range in size from 2 to 20 cm.
Microscopy
This lesion consists of combinations of the following patterns: cysts of variable sizes forming a
sieve-like pattern; closely packed pattern; or
retiform, tubular, and solid foci in which the
cells are spindled. The tumor cells are cuboidal
or columnar; however, the cells lining the cyst
may be flattened. Hobnail cells may be seen. The
cells are typically bland with a low mitotic rate.
Immunophenotype
Tumor cells stain positive for a broad spectrum of
cytokeratin and vimentin, and often for calretinin.
There are variable expressions of cytokeratin 7,
estrogen and progesterone receptors, smooth muscle actin (SMA), CD10, androgen receptor,
inhibin, c-Kit, and EMA. The tumor cells are typically negative for monoclonal CEA (Fanghong
et al. 2008; Devouassoux-Shisheboran et al. 1999).
Molecular Features
No disease defining molecular alterations are
identified.
Differential Diagnosis
The main differential diagnoses are endometrioid
carcinoma, which usually has a glandular pattern
with variable squamous differentiation and
nuclear atypia; high-grade serous carcinoma,
which has papillary and micropapillary architecture with high-grade nuclear features and a high
mitotic activity, as well as diffuse positive or
completely negative p53 expression; and clear
cell carcinoma, which has high-grade nuclear features including abundant, clear cytoplasm and
clear cell mark ers, such as HNF1 beta and Napsin
A positivity. All three of these entities are positive
for PAX8, while Wolffian tumor is negative
(Lucas and Zheng 2018). Another rare differential
M

286 Miscellaneous Tumors, Pathology of the Ovary
https://t.me/med1917
diagnosis is Mullerian mesenchymal tumor with
endometrial stromal and smooth muscle differentiation. This neoplasm shows both smooth muscle
and endometrial stromal differential intermixed
together. The tumor cells express smooth muscle
actin, CD10, desmin, estrogen and progesterone
receptor.
Small Cell Carcinoma,
Hypercalcemic Type
Definition
An undifferentiated neoplasm predominantly
composed of small cells. This may occasionally
have a large cell component and may be associated with paraneoplastic hypercalcemia. The
tumor is not related to small cell carcinoma of
neuroendocrine (pulmonary) type.
Clinical Features
• Incidence
This is a rare tumor.
• Age
This typically occurs in young women within
the second and third decades, with a mean age
of 23 years old.
• Clinical presentation
This is associated with paraneoplastic hypercalcemia in 66% of cases (Dickersin et al.
1982; Young et al. 1990). Most patients present
with symptoms consistent with an ovarian
mass. Occasionally, the tumor presents with
metastatic disease. Symptoms specifically
attributable to hypercalcemia are rare. Onehalf of cases have unilateral ovarian involvement with extra-ovarian spread in the form of
peritoneal disease.
• Sex
Female.
• Site
Ovary.
• Treatment
Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with surgical
debridement, followed by chemotherapy with/
without radiation therapy.
• Outcomes
This is a highly aggressive neoplasm. The
tumor stage is the most important prognostic
factor. One-third of the patients with stage IA
disease were disease free 1–13 years after sur-
gery, while the other two-thirds died or had
recurrence of the primary disease (Young
et al. 1990). Almost all patients with any
stage higher than II died of disease. More
favorable outcomes are associated with
age > 30, a normal preoperative calcium
level, tumor size <10 cm, and no large cell
component. Recurrence is monitored by
serum calcium levels.
Macroscopy
The tumors are relatively large, mainly consisting
of solid components. The masses are pale and
range from white to gray. There may be necrosis,
hemorrhaging, and cystic degeneration.
Microscopy
A diffuse growth pattern is usually present, but
most cases have focal follicle-like spaces with
luminal eosinophilic (or rarely basophilic) fluid
(Dickersin et al. 1982; Young et al. 1990). Nested,
corded, or trabecular growth may be present as
well. The nuclei tend to be monotonous and
hyperchromatic with course clumped chromatin
and small nucleoli. There tends to be conspicuous
mitotic activity with areas of necrosis. If there is a
component of large cells, containing abundant
eosinophilic cytoplasm (and can be focal, predominant or exclusive) it would then be considered a large cell variant. There may be small foci
of mucin, and rarely, signet ring cells in 15% of
cases. There is usually minimal stroma (Figs. 1, 2,
and 3).
Immunophenotype
Most cases exhibit diffuse nuclear staining with
antibodies against N-terminal of WT1
(McCluggage et al. 2004). The tumor focally
stains positive with broad-spectrum cytokeratins,
epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), CD10,
calretinin, and neuroendocrine markers (Aguirre
et al. 1989; McCluggage et al. 2004). Parathyroid
hormone-related protein (PTHrP) may be positive
(Dickersin et al. 1982). The absence of
SMARCA4 and SMARCA2 is found in almost
all tumors.

Molecular Features
Molecular studies via flow cytometry of paraffinembedded tissue have demonstrated that the neoplastic cells are diploid (E ichhorn et al. 1992a).
Somatic or germline mutations of SMARCA4 are
detected in most tumors (Moes-Sosnowska
et al. 2015).
Differential Diagnosis
Due to the young age and the presence of folliclelike spaces in the neoplasm, the most common
differential diagnosis include juvenile granulosa
cell tumor. Likewise, this tumor may also be confused with adult-type granulosa cell tumors,

Small Cell Carcinoma, Pulmonary
Type
Synonyms
Small cell carcinoma of neuroendocrine type.

A small cell carcinoma resembling pulmonary
small cell carcinoma of neuroendocrine type.
Clinical Features
• Incidence
Rare tumor.
• Age
Most patients are postmenopausal.
• Clinical presentation
Patients present with symptoms referable to a
pelvic or abdominal mass (Eichhorn et al.
1992b).
• Sex
Female.
• Site
Ovary.
• Treatment

extension with adjuvant chemotherapy with/
without radiation therapy.
• Outcomes
Due to the highly aggressive nature of these
tumors and the tendency to present at an
advanced stage, the prognosis is poor
(Eichhorn et al. 1992b).
Macroscopy
The tumors present as large and predominantly
solid, with frequent areas of necrosis. They are
often bilateral and commonly contain extraovarian spread.
Microscopy
The tumors predominantly grow in a diffuse pattern, but may also present with nests and rosettelike structures. Most cases contain a component
of surface epithelial-stromal tumor, most commonly endometrioid or mucinous type
(Fukunaga et al . 1997; Grandjean et al. 2007).
The cells of the tumors tend to be r ound with
slightly spindled hyperchromatic nuclei. They
may contain “salt-and-pepper” chromatin with
nuclear m olding. The nuclei usually demonstrate
abundant mitotic activity with apoptosis. The
cytoplasm is typically scant. Necrosis is common. They may rarely arise in ovarian teratoma
(Ikota et al. 2012).
Immunophenotype
The tumors are variably positive with neuroendocrine markers such as chromogranin, synaptophysin, CD56, and PGP9.5. The diagnosis
of small cell carcinoma of pulmonary type can
be made in the absence of neuroendocrine marker
positivity if the morphology is consistent. The
tumor may show nuclear staining with TTF-1 ;
however, this does not necessarily indicate a
metastasis from a pulmonary primary (Grandjean
et al. 2007).
Molecular Features
Immunohistochemical staining for neuronspecific enolase are typically positive, while a
minority of cases have chromogranin positivity
(Eichhorn et al. 1992b).
Differential Diagnosis
The most common differential diagnosis is small
cell carcinoma, hypercalcemic type that shows
large cells with abundant cytoplasm, central and
prominent nucleoli. It is associated with paraneoplastic hypercalcemia. Immunohistochemistry shows tumor cells to stain positive for
vimentin and WT1 with loss of SMARCA4.
Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT)
may also pose a diagnostic challenge. However,
DSRT may show prominent desmoplastic stroma
and shows dual expression of epithelial markers
and characteristic paranuclear dot-like positivity
for desmin.
