This report details three ovarian tumors with endometrioid proliferations co-expressing estrogen receptor and CDX-2, found to harbor CTNNB1 mutations, and sometimes ATM and PIK3CA mutations, within a cystadenofibromatous background.

Abstract

This report describes 3 cases of ovarian tumors with unusual glandular proliferations co-expressing estrogen receptor and CDX-2 by immunohistochemistry set in cystadenofibromatous background. Targeted next-generation sequencing was performed on the cyst lining epithelium and glandular proliferations for all cases; CTNNB1 mutations were detected in the glandular proliferations of all neoplasms. The cyst lining of case 1 demonstrated a different CTNNB1 mutation from the matched glandular proliferation. No mutations were detected in the cyst lining from case 2. The cyst lining and glandular proliferation for case 3 harbored identical ATM and PIK3CA mutations with an additional CTNNB1 mutation in the glandular proliferation. To our knowledge, this is the first reported series of endometrioid proliferations with co-expression of estrogen receptor and CDX-2 in cystadenofibromatous background.
