    Abstract Tumor cells are occasionally observed in the lumen in histologic sections of the fallopian tube from women with gynecologic cancer. There is some evidence that this finding may be important in endometrial cancer, but its significance is unknown in women with extrauterine pelvic serous carcinomas (tubo-ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma). Fallopian tube sections from 213 women with extrauterine pelvic serous carcinoma were reviewed, and luminal tumor cells were correlated with clinical and pathologic features. Intraluminal tumor cells were found in 84 patients (39%). The presence or absence of luminal tumor cells correlated significantly with serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (52% and 33%, respectively, P=0.004), tubal lymphatic invasion (32% and 12%, respectively, P=0.0002), and number of tube sections reviewed (6.6 and 4.9 for lumen-positive and lumen-negative cases, respectively, P=0.0056). There was no correlation with the presence of ascites, peritoneal cytopathologic findings, lymph node metastases, or FIGO stage. In the setting of pelvic serous carcinoma, a substantial portion of fallopian tube tissue is often distorted, fibrotic, and difficult to identify. Since the identification of luminal tumor cells, serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma and tubal lymphatic invasion all depend on identification of fallopian tube tissue, these correlates with luminal tumor cells could be a result of a higher likelihood of their observation when tubal tissue can be more readily identified and may not necessarily reflect a biologically important phenomenon. It remains unclear whether and in what proportion this finding reflects an artifact of specimen handling.

    Abstract The majority of extrauterine high-grade serous carcinomas are believed to arise in the fallopian tube as serous tubal intraepithelial carcinomas. The primary mode of metastasis is intraperitoneal, and patients usually present with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Although the tubes have a rich lymphatic network, tubal lymphatic invasion is observed in only a minority of cases. Fallopian tube sections from 222 patients with advanced stage high-grade extrauterine serous carcinoma were reviewed and lymphatic invasion within the lamina propria and myosalpinx were assessed. Seventeen patients were FIGO stage II, 162 stage III, and 43 stage IV. Tubal lymphatic invasion was identified in 44 cases (19.7%). Among the cases with lymphatic invasion, nonfimbrial lamina propria, fimbrial lamina propria, and myosalpingeal lymphatic invasion were present in 23 (52%), 21 (48%), and 21 (48%), respectively. Among cases with lymphatic invasion, 16 (36%) were FIGO stage IV, while among cases without lymphatic invasion, 27 (15%) were stage IV (P=0.0014, χ). In summary, in women with advanced stage high-grade extrauterine serous carcinoma, lymphatic invasion in the fallopian tube is uncommon, and is more than twice as likely to be associated with distant metastases as compared with those without tubal lymphatic invasion.

    Abstract Recent data suggest that intraepithelial carcinoma of the fallopian tube [serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC)] is the precursor of high-grade extrauterine serous carcinoma. A more specific location for the origin of this lesion is suggested by the recently described junction between the fallopian tubal epithelium and the peritoneum [tubal-peritoneal junction (TPJ)]. Fallopian tubes from 202 patients with advanced-stage high-grade extrauterine serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma were evaluated histologically as were 124 prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy specimens. These included 54 patients with BRCA or other high-risk mutation or a family history of BRCA mutation and 70 with a personal or family history of breast carcinoma. STIC was found in 81 of 202 patients with serous carcinoma (40.1%). STIC was present in 73 of 141 (52%) cases in which the fimbriae were present and in 62 of 100 (62%) cases in which the TPJ was present (P not significant). In comparison with these groups, when fimbriae and TPJ were absent, STIC was found in 8 of 61 (13%) cases (P<0.0001). None of the prophylactic specimens contained STIC. The mean size of STIC was 1.7 mm. In 32 cases (39.5%), the lesion was flat and in 49 (60.5%), papillary. The mean size of flat STICs was 0.8 mm as compared with 2.3 mm for papillary STICs (P=0.00005). STIC was identified in the same tissue fragment as the junction in 48 cases. The mean distance of STIC to the junction was 1.8 mm. In 11 cases, STIC was flanked by peritoneal mesothelium on one side and tubal epithelium on the opposite side. In 51 patients, the mean distance of invasive carcinoma from the TPJ was 1.8 mm. This distance was 1.9 mm when STIC was present (37 cases) in comparison with 1.5 mm when STIC was absent (14 cases) (P not significant). In 27 of 42 cases (64%), STIC was contiguous with invasive carcinoma. Lamina propria invasion was present in 71% of cases in which STIC was present as compared with 26% of cases in which STIC was absent (P<0.0001). Myosalpingeal invasion was present in 40% of cases in which STIC was present as compared with 26% of cases in which STIC was absent (P not significant). It is concluded that serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma occurs at and in the immediate vicinity of the TPJ. In combination with the findings that STICs are present in a majority of cases when the TPJ is present, that flat STICs are smaller than papillary STICs, and that lamina propria invasion is more frequent in the presence of STIC, these data support STIC as the precursor of extrauterine high-grade serous carcinoma, they provide important clues to the site of origin of high-grade serous carcinoma (ovarian cancer), and can guide further research.

    Abstract The incessant ovulation hypothesis for the etiology of ovarian carcinoma has been accepted for decades, but recent evidence strongly implicates the fallopian tube mucosa as the source of most high-grade "ovarian serous carcinomas." Menstrual reflux through the tubes, a normal phenomenon, is a putative source of tubal mucosal exposure to carcinogens. We searched for histologic evidence of deposition of iron, a well-recognized carcinogen, in the fallopian tubes in 196 women with advanced-stage high-grade pelvic serous carcinomas in comparison with 370 controls. Tubal hemosiderin and/or pseudoxanthoma cells were found in 20% of the serous carcinoma cases, and an iron stain was positive in 30% of a sample of pigment-negative cases. Controls displayed pigment in 5% (P<0.001). In both cases and controls, pigment was significantly more frequently present in women with endometriosis as compared with those without. We conclude that tubal mucosal iron is present in a significant proportion of women with advanced-stage high-grade pelvic serous carcinoma. As a carcinogen, iron may play a role in the pathogenesis of these tumors. As compared with the incessant ovulation hypothesis, the recently proposed "incessant menstruation hypothesis" may be a better explanation of the well-recognized association of ovarian carcinoma with the length of the reproductive life uninterrupted by pregnancy.

    Abstract Ovarian epithelial inclusions lined by mucinous epithelium are rare and of uncertain origin. Ovaries containing such inclusions were studied in 42 women. The inclusions were divided into 3 groups: serous epithelial lined with typical ciliated morphology but with distinct basophilic cytoplasmic mucin in some or all of the lining cells, those lined by typical mucinous epithelium, and those lined by a combination of typical mucinous epithelium and serous epithelium. The mean patient age was 61.5 years. Pure mucinous inclusions were found in 27 patients, serous-type inclusions with cytoplasmic mucin in 20, and mixed type in 10. All 3 types of inclusions were found in 1 patient. Two types of inclusions were found in 13. Four patients had associated mucinous neoplasms (1 mucinous cystadenoma, 1 atypical proliferative seromucinous tumor, and 2 seromucinous cystadenomas), and 11 patients (26%) had endometriosis. The fallopian tubes in 4 patients (9.5%) also displayed mucinous metaplasia; this was not significantly different from the 3.1% we found in our previously reported series of unselected tubes from the same population. These findings suggest that mucinous inclusions may arise as a direct metaplastic change in serous-type inclusions. Other possible origins of mucinous inclusions in the ovarian cortex include endometriosis and Brenner (transitional cell) nests. Whether such inclusions can be a source of mucinous ovarian neoplasms as are Brenner tumors and mature cystic teratomas is unknown and may warrant further investigation.

    Abstract Background: Observer studies in pathology often utilize a limited number of representative slides per case, selected and reported in a nonstandardized manner. Reference diagnoses are commonly assumed to be generalizable to all slides of a case. We examined these issues in the context of pathologist concordance for histologic subtype classification of ovarian carcinomas (OCs).
    Materials and methods: A cohort of 114 OCs consisting of 72 cases with a single representative slide (Group 1) and 42 cases with multiple representative slides (148 slides, 2-6 sections per case, Group 2) was independently reviewed by three experts in gynecologic pathology (case-based review). In a follow-up study, each individual slide was independently reviewed in a randomized order by the same pathologists (section-based review).
    Results: Average interobserver concordance varied from 100% for Group 1 to 64.3% for Group 2 (86.8% across all cases). Across Group 2, 19 cases (45.2%) had at least one slide classified as a different subtype than the subtype assigned from case-based review, demonstrating the impact of intratumoral heterogeneity. Section-based concordance across individual sections from Group 2 was comparable to case-based concordance for those cases indicating diagnostic challenges at the individual section level. Findings demonstrate the increased diagnostic complexity of heterogeneous tumors that require multiple section sampling and its impact on pathologist performance.
    Conclusions: The proportion of cases with multiple representative slides in cohorts used in validation studies, such as those conducted to evaluate artificial intelligence/machine learning tools, can influence diagnostic performance, and if not accounted for, can cause disparities between research and real-world observations and between research studies. Case selection in validation studies should account for tumor heterogeneity to create balanced datasets in terms of diagnostic complexity.

    Abstract Most non-neoplastic lesions of the ovaries have not been comprehensively examined in the contemporary literature. We evaluated completely embedded ovaries from 403 unselected, consecutive patients who had grossly normal adnexa. These included prophylactic specimens in high-risk women with BRCA mutations (38 women) and women with a personal history of breast cancer or a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (79 women). Transitional cell (Brenner) nests were found in 9.1%; 31% of these lesions were smaller than 1 mm, and 8 were solitary nests. Cortical granulomas were found in 20.5%, fatty metaplasia in 5.3%, mucinous metaplasia of surface epithelial inclusions in 5.5%, and smooth muscle stromal metaplasia in 2%. One or more types of stromal hyperplasia were found in 24.3%. Endometriosis was found in 22% of adnexa. There were no significant differences in the findings in high-risk women compared with non-high-risk except those attributable to age differences between the groups. These findings establish baseline frequencies for non-neoplastic ovarian lesions, and suggest that transitional cell nests are so common that they can be regarded as a normal finding.

    Abstract Iron is a well-documented carcinogen based on both animal models and observational studies in humans. There are limited published data on pseudoxanthomatous salpingitis, an uncommon condition characterized by the accumulation of histiocytes containing iron and iron-related compounds-lipofuscin and hemosiderin-in the lamina propria of the fallopian tube. The clinical and pathologic features of 49 consecutive cases were evaluated. The mean patient age was 53. A history of endometriosis was found in 20%, infertility in 17%, and tubal ligation in 7%. Thirteen (27%) had endometrial cancer and 2 patients had prior radiation therapy for cervical carcinoma. Histologic evidence of endometriosis other than tubal pigment deposition was identified in 65%, and in the fallopian tubes in 35%. Pigment deposition was unilateral in 65% and multifocal or diffuse in 80%. Plasma cells, eosinophils, and neutrophils were present in the tubal lamina propria in 57%, 18%, and 24%, respectively. Hydrosalpinx was present in 51%. An iron stain was positive in pseudoxanthoma cells lacking hemosiderin in 14 of 18 cases (78%). By immunohistochemistry, 2 of 22 cases displayed p53 signatures. The Ki67 proliferation index was elevated (>10%) in 11 of 22 cases, with a mean index of 32% in those cases. An elevated proliferation index did not correlate with inflammation. In summary, these findings characterize the clinical and pathologic features of pseudoxanthomatous salpingitis and confirm its close association with endometriosis, occasional association with radiation therapy, and the presence of iron in the histiocytes. In view of the evolving paradigm shift implicating the fallopian tubal epithelium as the site of origin of high-grade extrauterine serous carcinoma, the presence of iron and iron-related compounds in the fallopian tube provides an opportunity to study the early events in high-grade serous carcinogenesis in a setting characterized by a well-documented carcinogen in close anatomic proximity to the putative epithelium of origin.
