Endometrial cancer in transgender men is rare, and its histopathologic features remain unknown. A 30-yr-old transgender man with an intrauterine tumor, an ovarian mass, and a 2-yr history of testosterone use was referred to us for treatment. The presence of the tumors was confirmed via imaging, and the intrauterine tumor was identified as an endometrial endometrioid carcinoma via endometrial biopsy. The patient underwent hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and lymph node dissection. Pathologic examination revealed grade 3 endometrioid endometrial carcinoma, and the synchronous endometrial and ovarian tumors were collectively characterized as primary endometrial carcinoma...

Mesonephric neoplasms of the lower female genital tract are rare. To date, there are scarce reports of benign biphasic vaginal mesonephric lesions, and none have included immunohistochemical and/or molecular analysis. A biphasic neoplasm of mesonephric-type was incidentally identified in the vaginal submucosal tissue of a 55-yr-old woman who underwent a right salpingo-oophorectomy for an ovarian cyst. The well-circumscribed, 5 mm nodule exhibited white-tan, firm homogenous cut surfaces. Microscopic examination showed a lobular arrangement of glands with columnar to the cuboidal epithelium and intraluminal eosinophilic secretions, embedded within a myofibromatous stroma...

Gliomatosis involving lymph nodes (nodal gliomatosis) is rarely encountered in association with an ovarian teratoma, with 12 cases previously reported. We report this rare occurrence in a 23-yr-old female with an ovarian immature teratoma. The ovary contained a grade 3 immature teratoma, with immature neuroepithelium. A subcapsular liver mass contained metastatic immature teratoma with neuroepithelium. The omentum and peritoneum contained mature glial tissue, consistent with gliomatosis peritonei with no evidence of immature elements...

Neuroendocrine neoplasms commonly arise from the gastrointestinal tract and lungs. Less commonly, they may occur in the gynecologic tract, typically within the ovary of a mature cystic teratoma. Primary neuroendocrine neoplasms of the fallopian tube are exceptionally rare and only a total of 11 cases have been reported in the literature. We describe the first case to our knowledge of a primary grade 2 neuroendocrine tumor of the fallopian tube in a 47-yr-old female. In this report, we describe the case's unique presentation, review the published literature on primary neuroendocrine neoplasms of the fallopian tube, discuss the treatment options, and speculate on their origin and histogenesis...

Endometrioid carcinoma with histopathologic resemblance to cutaneous pilomatrix carcinoma with mutations in the gene encoding beta-catenin, CTNNB1 are rare. There are minimal numbers of reports of high-grade tumors with this divergent differentiation in the literature. We report the case of a 29-yr-old female with an unusual presentation of endometrial cancer with overall histologic appearance indicative of a recently reported aggressive subtype of Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) IVB grade 3 endometrioid carcinoma with features resembling cutaneous pilomatrix carcinoma...

Gastric-type adenocarcinoma is the commonest human papillomavirus (HPV)-independent adenocarcinoma of the cervix. We report a rare case of a primary cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma with malignant squamous elements (gastric-type adenosquamous carcinoma) in a 64-yr-old female. This is only the third report of a cervical gastric-type adenosquamous carcinoma. The tumor was p16 negative and molecular studies for HPV were negative. Next-generation sequencing showed pathogenic variants in BRCA1 and KRAS, as well as variants of unknown significance in CDK12 and ATM and homozygous deletion of CDKN2A/CDKN2B...

Pregnant individuals with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are at a higher risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Previous small cohort studies have shown increased frequency of placental lesions associated with maternal vascular malperfusion, fetal vascular malperfusion, and inflammation among patients with SARS-CoV-2, without controlling for cardiometabolic risk factors among many such patients. We aimed to evaluate whether SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy is independently associated with placental abnormalities when controlling for risk factors that could affect placental histopathology...

MEIS1-NCOA1/2 fusions are recently described gene rearrangements found in rare sarcomas, mainly involving the genitourinary and gynecologic tracts, with 3 cases reported in the uterine corpus. Although local recurrence was very common, no death has been reported, and some investigators consider these sarcomas low grade. Amplification of genes located at the 12q13-15 locus, especially MDM2, is the hallmark genetic abnormality in well-differentiated and dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the soft tissue. Some uterine tumors have also been reported to harbor MDM2 amplification, including a proportion of Müllerian adenosarcomas, BCOR fusion-positive high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma, BCORL1-altered high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma, rare JAZF1 fusion-positive low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma, rare undifferentiated uterine sarcoma, and a single case of MEIS1-NCOA2 fusion sarcoma...

We reviewed the clinicopathologic findings of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-exposed placentas at our institution. We identified patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy (March-October 2020). Clinical data included gestational age at diagnosis and delivery and maternal symptoms. Hematoxylin and eosin slides were reviewed for maternal vascular malperfusion, fetal vascular malperfusion, chronic villitis, amniotic fluid infection, intervillous thrombi, fibrin deposition, and infarction...

Ovarian serous borderline tumors (SBTs) harboring the BRAFV600E mutation are associated with decreased risk of progression to low-grade serous carcinoma, and often prominently feature tumor cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. Since eosinophilic cells (ECs) may be a marker of the underlying genetic driver, we proposed morphologic criteria and evaluated the interobserver reproducibility for assessing this histologic feature. Following the completion of an online training module, representative tumor slides from 40 SBTs (BRAFV600E-mutated, n=18, BRAF-wildtype, n=22) were independently reviewed by 5 pathologists...

Endometrial stromal tumors represent the second most common category of uterine mesenchymal tumors. Several different histologic variants and underlying genetic alterations have been recognized, one such being a group associated with BCORL1 rearrangements. They are usually high-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas, often associated with prominent myxoid background and aggressive behavior. Here, we report an unusual endometrial stromal neoplasm with JAZF1-BCORL1 rearrangement and briefly review the literature...

The pathogenesis of serous ovarian tumors has been extensively investigated, with a dualistic model dividing these cancers into 2 groups. Type I tumors, including low-grade serous carcinoma, is characteristic for concurrent presence of borderline tumors, less atypical cytology, relatively indolent biologic behavior, and molecular aberrations related to the MAPK pathway with chromosomal stability. Meanwhile, type II tumors, such as high-grade serous carcinoma, are notable for no significant association with borderline tumors, higher grade cytology, more aggressive biologic behavior, and TP53 mutations along with chromosomal instability...

Tumor budding, largely considered a manifestation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an established prognostic marker for several cancers. In a recent study, tumor budding was associated with poor clinical outcomes in early-stage ovarian clear cell carcinoma. Here, we evaluated the immune expression of 3 proteins shown to be associated with EMT (E-cadherin, β-catenin, and glypican-3) in 72 primary tumors of ovarian clear cell carcinoma with median follow-up of 39.47 mo. E-cadherin and β-catenin expression was further evaluated in tumor buds in 29 (40%) cases...

Gynecologic carcinomas with RAS mutations may show a wide spectrum of histologic types, including mixed types. We present the case of a 63-yr-old patient diagnosed with an ovarian tumor harboring a mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma in a background of mixed mesonephric-like, mucinous, and endometrioid components. Molecular analysis revealed that all 3 components shared the same clonal KRAS mutation (p.G12A) and chromosome 1q gain. Based on shifts in clonality, copy number gains, and acquisition of an additional mutation, our data suggest that the mucinous component likely constituted the substrate from which the mesonephric-like and endometrioid components arose...

Atypical placental site nodules (APSNs) are histologically intermediate between placental site nodules (PSNs) and epithelioid trophoblastic tumors (ETTs). Little data exists to characterize these lesions and the risk of transformation from PSN to ETT. Recent World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for distinction of APSN are vague and not objectively defined. We identified cases signed out as PSN (n=33) and APSN (n=11) and aimed to characterize, statistically compare, and assess the risk of transformation in PSNs using data including size, location, mitotic rate, Ki-67 proliferation index, trophoblastic cells per high-power field, presence of severe cytologic atypia, beta-human chorionic gonadotropin levels, time since last pregnancy, presence of calcification, necrosis, or apoptosis, and follow-up results...

Approximately 1% to 1.5% of uterine leiomyomas are fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient (FHd). A subset of these are associated with germline FH mutations. However, the prevalence and clinicopathologic characteristics of FHd uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) remain unknown. Clinicopathologic data were collected for 348 uLMS. Morphologic features associated with FH deficiency (staghorn-type vessels, alveolar-pattern edema, macronucleoli with perinucleolar clearing, eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions, and chain-like nuclear arrangement) were documented...

Uterine collagen type 1 alpha 1 (COL1A1) and platelet-derived growth factor beta chain (PDGFB) fusion associated fibrosarcoma is a recently described entity characterized by a specific translocation t(17;22) (q22;q13) leading to the formation of COL1A1-PDGFB fusion transcripts that are typically associated with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. So far, only 4 cases of COL1A1-PDGFB fusion associated fibrosarcoma involving the female reproductive system have been reported in the literature. All cases showed strong diffuse expression of CD34...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae -like 1 ( SEC14L1 ) is a member of the SEC14 family and is involved in liposoluble vitamin transfer, and in a large cohort of breast cancer cases, was one of the genes most significantly associated with lymphovascular invasion (LVI), and had a significant relationship with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status, survival, and histologic grade. In this study, 111 separate gynecologic tumors were studied for SEC14L1 protein expression, including: uterine adenosarcoma, ovarian clear cell carcinoma, endometrial stromal sarcoma, endometrioid carcinoma of the uterus, high-grade serous carcinoma, ovarian endometrioid carcinoma, uterine leiomyosarcoma, low-grade serous carcinoma, uterine carcinosarcoma, and uterine serous carcinoma (USC)...
