  • Uniform round nuclei and prominent central nucleoli[11]
File:Histopathology of leydig cell tumor of the ovary, high mag, annotated.png
Other sex cord-stromal tumors 1% Others include mainly juvenile granulosa cell tumor, thecoma and sclerosing stromal tumor[2]
Secondary/metastatic) tumor 2% Usually from breast cancer, colon cancer, endometrial cancer, stomach cancer or cervical cancer.[12]

Invasion (characterized by small irregular nests to single cells) should be over 5 mm in size to distinguish a low-grade serous tumor from a borderline serous tumor. In both borderline and low-grade serous tumor, cells may have up to moderate atypia: They may have conspicuous nucleoli, and up to 3x variation in nuclear sizes compared to each other. More atypical features indicate a high-grade serous carcinoma.[13]

Differential diagnosis

Bilateral tumors

In cases of a tumor in both ovaries, of presumable ovarian origin, the largest tumor is generally designated as the "primary tumor" if needed (generally as a mandatory entry in synoptic reports of malignant tumors). ((Add a comment that "The largest tumor is designated as the primary".))

Staging

Also include any peritoneal fluid sample.

Perform staging for malignant tumors, as follows:[15]

Primary tumor (T)
TNM FIGO
TX Primary tumor cannot be assessed
T0 No evidence of primary tumor
T1 I Tumor confined to the ovaries or fallopian tubes
T1a IA Tumor limited to one ovary (capsule intact) or fallopian tube; no tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface; no malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings
T1b IB Tumor limited to both ovaries (capsule intact) or fallopian tubes; no tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface; no malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings
T1c IC Tumor limited to one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes with any of the following:
T1c1 IC1 Surgical spill
T1c2 IC2 Capsule ruptured before surgery or tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface
T1c3 IC3 Malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings
T2 II Tumor involves one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes with pelvic extension (below pelvic brim) or peritoneal cancer
T2a IIA Extension and/or implants on uterus and/or tube(s) and/or ovaries
T2b IIB Extension and/or implants on other pelvic tissues
T3 III Tumor involves one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes, or primary peritoneal cancer, with microscopically confirmed peritoneal metastasis outside the pelvis and/or metastases to the retroperitoneal (pelvic and/or para-aortic) lymph nodes
