Mucin histochemistry of ovarian mucinous cystadenomas expressing gastrointestinal characteristics. 1995

Department of Pathology, Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.

Fifty-four cases of ovarian mucinous cystadenoma, including two cases containing ciliated cells representing the müllerian epithelial origin, one case admixed with serous adenoma component and six cases associated with mature teratoma, were examined for the demonstration of gastrointestinal characteristics using periodic acid-Schiff, alcian blue, galactose oxidase-Schiff, paradoxycal concanavalin A (ConA), Grimelius and Fontana-Masson stains. Of 41 endocervical-type mucinous cystadenomas not associated with teratoma, 34 cases (83%) showed ConA positivity, expressing gastrointestinal characteristics. As both cases with ciliated cells and the case with serous adenoma component exhibited ConA positivity, the ovarian surface epithelium is supposed to undergo mucinous metaplasia possessing gastrointestinal characteristics. As to the histogenesis of the ovarian mucinous tumors, the metaplasia theory is suggested.

D013724 Teratoma A true neoplasm composed of a number of different types of tissue, none of which is native to the area in which it occurs. It is composed of tissues that are derived from three germinal layers, the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. They are classified histologically as mature (benign) or immature (malignant).

D016609 Neoplasms, Second Primary Abnormal growths of tissue that follow a previous neoplasm but are not metastases of the latter. The second neoplasm may have the same or different histological type and can occur in the same or different organs as the previous neoplasm but in all cases arises from an independent oncogenic event. The development of the second neoplasm may or may not be related to the treatment for the previous neoplasm since genetic risk or predisposing factors may actually be the cause.
