Transitional cell carcinoma of the ovary is a rare malignant ovarian tumour. It is thought to be related to high-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary.

General

  • Rare.
  • Traditionally in the transistional cell tumours category - in the surface epithelial group of ovarian tumours.[1]
  • Thought to be related to high-grade serous carcinoma.[2]

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Cystic spaces:
    • Small - punched-out border - very common.
    • Large.
  • Papillae, usu. large, blunt.
    • Occasionally small and filiform.
  • +/-Bizarre giant cells (35%)
  • +/-Gland-like tubules.
  • +/-Squamous differentiation.
  • +/-Psammoma bodies.
  • Cells:
    • Moderate basophilic cytoplasm and little intervening stroma.
    • Marked nuclear pleomorphism.
    • Mitoses - common.

Notes:

  1. Resembles urothelial carcinoma.[4]
  2. No Brenner tumour component (benign or malignant) should be present.[4]

Images

  • TCC - low mag. (WC)

  • TCC - intermed. mag. (WC)

  • TCC - high mag. (WC)

  • TCC - very high mag. (WC)

IHC

Features:[4]

  1. Vimentin +ve,
  2. CA-125 +ve.
  3. WT1 +ve.
  4. CK20 -ve.
  5. Thrombomodulin -ve.
  6. Uroplakin III -ve.

Notes:

  • 1-6 usu. opposite pattern in urothelial cell carcinoma.
