    Abstract This study aimed to compare the concordance and interchangeability of the Dako/Agilent and Ventana/Roche mismatch repair (MMR) immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays commonly used in pathology. It also aimed to provide diagnostic insights by examining the frequency and characteristics of the dot-like artifact observed in MLH1 M1 clone staining in endometrial cancer. Fifty endometrial cancer cases with MMR deficiency, excised between 2011 and 2018, were included in the study. IHC was performed using primary antibody clones from Ventana/Roche (MLH1, clone M1; MSH2, G219-1129; MSH6, SP93; PMS2, A16-4) and Dako/Agilent (MLH1, ES05; MSH2, FE11; MSH6, EP49; PMS2, EP51). Both assays were conducted using respective autostainers. The Dako/Agilent assay showed a loss of MLH1 in 26 cases, MSH2 in 12 cases, MSH6 in 23 cases, and PMS2 in 28 cases. The two assays had a complete agreement in MMR protein expression or loss. The dot-like artifact in MLH1 M1 clone staining was observed in 77% (20/26) of cases, predominantly in the surface area of the tumor, ranging from 5% to 40% (median: 10%). These findings highlight the high concordance between the MMR-IHC assays and emphasize the importance of considering the dot-like artifact in MLH1 M1 clone staining when diagnosing endometrial cancer with MMR deficiency.

    Abstract 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. Metastatic carcinomas were discovered in both ovaries and the omentum, pelvic peritoneum, and a para-aortic lymph node. On immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells diffusely expressed p53, retained expression of PTEN, ARID1A, PMS2, and MSH6, and focally expressed estrogen receptors, androgen receptors, and NKX3.1. NKX3.1 was also expressed in glandular structures within the exocervical squamous epithelium. Prostate-specific antigen and prostatic acid phosphatase were focally positive. In conclusion, we describe a transgender man with NKX3.1-expressing endometrioid endometrial carcinoma who provides valuable suggestions regarding the effects of testosterone on endometrial cancer and appropriate gynecological care for transgender men.

    Abstract Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is associated with female genital lesions, such as cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma and lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia (LEGH). However, ovarian mucinous borderline tumors (OMBT) with atypical LEGH-like histology have not been described. The patient was a 60-year-old female with PJS clinically diagnosed at 23 years old with gastrointestinal polyposis. Abdominal distension was noted, and computed tomography scan revealed bilateral breast masses, multiple lung nodules, and a multicystic ovarian tumor. A needle biopsy revealed invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. For the ovarian tumor, simple hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed. The left ovarian tumor was 25 × 20 × 12 cm in size and a multicystic tumor containing yellowish mucus without a solid part. Histologically, the cyst wall was covered with mucus cells with focal mild-to-moderate cellular atypia, forming LEGH-like architectures. The glandular cells were immunohistochemically positive for MUC5AC, MUC6 (focal), HIK1083 (focal), and HNF4α. Stromal invasion was not observed. Cervical lesions were not observed. The final pathological diagnosis was OMBT showing atypical LEGH morphology. Targeted sequencing of nontumor tissues revealed the germline

    Abstract Ovarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a rare cancer subtype. We describe a patient with ovarian MLA wherein liver metastases developed 1 month after surgery. A phenotypic analysis of the tumor was performed to identify molecular therapeutic targets. A 53-year-old woman, without any symptoms, underwent uterine cancer screening. Transvaginal ultrasonography revealed an ovarian mass, and subsequent pelvic magnetic resonance imaging showed a 13 × 10 cm multicystic ovarian lesion with a solid part. No extra ovarian lesions were observed and a staging laparotomy was performed. Pathological examination revealed an MLA of the left ovary (stage IC1). The tumor comprised tumor cells in a tubular pattern with intraluminal eosinophilic material, as well as mixed glandular and papillary, cord-like, and solid patterns. Endometriosis was also observed. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for PAX8, GATA3 (focal), TTF1 (focal), and CD10 (luminal) and negative for the estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and WT1. One month after surgery, computed tomography revealed multiple liver metastases. Additional immunohistochemistry for therapeutic targets revealed that the tumor cells were weakly positive for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (focal; score 1+), pan-tropomyosin receptor kinase-negative, programmed death-ligand 1-negative, and PMS2 and MSH6 intact. The companion homologous recombination deficiency test (MyChoice

    Abstract Adenoid basal carcinoma (ABC) is rare cancer with a favorable prognosis. However, some ABCs are associated with other histological types, such as squamous cell carcinoma. Here, we present a case of a mixed tumor of ABC and adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the cervix, with a detailed immunohistochemical study and literature review. We describe a case of a 66-year-old woman who underwent cervical cancer screening that led to the detection of a 0.7 cm nodular lesion. Cervical punch biopsies revealed a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion. Cervical conization revealed a mixed carcinoma composed of ABC and ACC, showing stromal invasion, lymphovascular invasion, and positive resection margins. Immunohistochemically, the ACC components were positive for KIT and αSMA and negative for NKX3.1. The tumor presented with proficient mismatch repair (MMR) and was negative for HER2, PD-L1, and TRKA (NTRK1). Subsequent radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection revealed the presence of residual tumor cells in the cervix. Our literature review identified six similar cases, including one patient who died of disease recurrence. We report a rare tumor comprising both ABC and ACC. Prognostic data on mixed tumors are scarce; however, given the aggressive nature of ACC, attention should be paid to the detection of mixed tumors. Since ABC and ACC histology may overlap, adequate sampling and IHC for detecting ACC would be helpful.

    Abstract Objectives: Molecular classification was introduced in endometrial cancer staging following the transition of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2008 to FIGO2023. In the early stages, p53 abnormal endometrial carcinoma with myometrial involvement was upstaged to stage IIC
    Methods: The study included 265 patients who underwent initial surgery at the National Cancer Center Hospital between 1997 and 2019 and were pathologically diagnosed with endometrial cancer. The three classification systems were compared using Harrell's concordance index (C-index), Akaike information criterion (AIC), and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. A higher C-index score and a lower AIC value indicated a more accurate model.
    Results: Among the three classification systems, FIGO2023

    Abstract Gastric-type adenocarcinoma (GAS) of the cervix is a human papilloma virus (HPV)-independent, aggressive, and chemo-resistant adenocarcinoma. However, although the histopathological features of GAS have been extensively investigated, squamous differentiation has not been mentioned. This study aimed to elucidate the frequency of GAS with squamous differentiation and describe their clinicopathological characteristics. We retrospectively evaluated 78 patients with GAS (n = 13) and adenosquamous carcinoma (n = 65) diagnosed between 2000 and 2020. Two patients with GAS with squamous differentiation were identified. Both tumors showed advanced stage (pT2bN1) and had predominant GAS and merged squamous cell carcinoma components without p16-block positivity and HPV DNA. Gastric-type adenocarcinoma in situ was confirmed in both cases. Some cases of GAS could show squamous differentiation mimicking the usual, HPV-associated, adenosquamous carcinoma. GAS with squamous differentiation is recognized as an HPV-independent cancer.

    Abstract This study aimed to clarify the genetic features of endometrioid-type endometrial cancer arising in adenomyosis (EC-AIA) using targeted sequencing and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for both carcinoma and adjacent adenomyosis tissues. We identified three endometrioid-type EC-AIAs in 689 patients with endometrial cancer; two exhibited grade 3 endometrioid carcinoma. IHC revealed retained expression of PMS2, MSH6, ARID1A, and PAX2. Two of them showed diffuse strong p53 expression only in the carcinoma. PTEN expression was lost in carcinoma of only one of these cases. Carcinoma had many gene mutations than adjacent adenomyosis in all cases. KRAS and TP53 mutations were found in two of them. The other patient had mutations in KRAS, PIK3CA, and PPP2R1A. They were classified as two "p53-mutated" and one "non-specific molecular profile." These molecular alterations in endometrioid-type EC-AIA imply similar carcinogenesis to a subset of endometrial endometrioid carcinoma and might be used as targets of liquid biopsy after further validation.

    Abstract Background/objective: Platinum-refractory or -resistant ovarian cancer (PRROC) is associated with poor prognosis and low response to further chemotherapy. We investigated predictors of effectiveness of following treatments for PRROC.
    Patients and methods: We included 380 patients diagnosed with stage I-IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, who were treated at the National Cancer Center Hospital in Japan from January 2007 to December 2014 and recurred after initial treatment, who had a platinum-refractory or -resistant relapses and received chemotherapy, in this single-center, retrospective study. We investigated factors related to response to following treatment, and to progression-free survival (PFS).
    Results: Among 183 patients (48%) who suffered recurrences, 62 (34%) developed PRROC after chemotherapy. In multivariate analysis, platinum-free interval (PFI) < 3 months was independently associated with progressive disease (odds ratio [OR] 6.043, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.485-24.595, P = 0.012). Median PFS was 139 days (95% CI 19.4-258) among patients with PFI > 3 months, but was 57 days (95% CI 34.7-79.2) among those with PFI < 3 months. In multivariate analysis, two factors, performance status (PS) 1-2 (HR 1.915, 95% CI 1.074-3.415, P = 0.028) and PFI < 3 months (HR 1.943, 95% CI 1.109-3.403, P = 0.02), were independently associated with worse PFS.
    Conclusions: PS 1-2 and PFI < 3 months were significant predictors of poor response to following treatment for PRROC. Risks and benefits of treatment should be frankly discussed with patients who have these characteristics.

    Abstract Background: We investigated the utility of a molecular classifier tool and genetic alterations for predicting prognosis in Japanese patients with endometrial cancer.
    Methods: A total of 1029 patients with endometrial cancer from two independent cohorts were classified into four molecular subtype groups. The primary and secondary endpoints were relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS), respectively.
    Results: Among the 265 patients who underwent initial surgery, classified according to immunohistochemistry, patients with DNA polymerase epsilon exonuclease domain mutation had an excellent prognosis (RFS and OS), patients with no specific molecular profile (NSMP) and mismatch repair protein deficiency had an intermediate prognosis, and those with protein 53 abnormal expression (p53abn) had the worst prognosis (P < 0.001). In the NSMP group, mutant KRAS and wild-type ARID1A were associated with significantly poorer 5-year RFS (41.2%) than other genomic characteristics (P < 0.001). The distribution of the subtypes differed significantly between patients with recurrence/progression and classified by sequencing (n = 764) and patients who underwent initial surgery (P < 0.001). Among patients with recurrence/progression, 51.4% had the opportunity to receive molecular targeted therapy.
    Conclusions: A molecular classifier is a useful tool for determining prognosis and eligibility for molecularly targeted therapy in patients with endometrial cancer.
