Ovarian cystadenofibroma is a rare benign tumor comprised of both epithelial and stromal components. It is one the unique tumors which is usually mistaken for malignancy on imaging because of partly solid and partly cystic appearance. Frozen section and subsequent histopathological examinations play a vital role in arriving at definite diagnosis and thus avoiding unnecessary extensive surgical procedure. We described a case of bilateral ovarian cystadenofibroma in a 64 years old female with the clinical impression of malignancy and posted for radical surgical procedure. Keywords: cystadenofibroma, bilateral, malignant, ovary.

RATIONALE: Ovarian cystadenofibroma is a relatively rare benign ovarian tumor. Ovarian remnant syndrome (ORS) is a rare complication of bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO). We report a rare case of ORS with paraintestinal ovarian serous cystadenofibroma that developed 30 years after total abdominal hysterectomy and BSO in a 73-year-old woman. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 73-year-old woman complained of long-term lower abdominal discomfort. DIAGNOSIS: She was diagnosed with a cystic lesion in the lower abdomen on transabdominal ultrasonography. Further diagnostic imaging and laboratory tests could not exclude a diagnosis of malignancy. INTERVENTIONS: The patient underwent laparoendoscopic single-site surgery. We found one cystic lesion 5 cm in size with multiple septa that was adhered to the small bowel. We consulted a general surgeon for tumor resection. Dissection was performed and the specimen was then removed from the umbilical wound. OUTCOMES: Histopathological examination revealed an ovarian serous cystadenofibroma. The postoperative recovery was uneventful. LESSONS: Patients with lower abdominal pain after a previous hysterectomy and BSO should be examined with transabdominal sonography for ORS.

Ovarian serous cystadenofibroma is a relatively rare subtype of serous cystadenoma classified as ovarian benign epithelial tumor. We report a rare case of ovarian serous cystadenofibroma with scattered lesions in pelvic cavity, like malignant disseminations. The patient was 22 years old, gravida 0, para 0. In the laparoscopic surgery, numerous hard yellowish-white solid masses of various sizes were present in the bilateral ovaries. Grossly similar masses were scattered in the fimbria of the fallopian tubes, peritoneum, and great omentum. Because the intraoperative rapid histological diagnosis was benign tumor, surgery was completed for only tumor excision. Postoperative histopathological diagnosis is serous cystadenofibroma. Similar pathological findings were noted in the scattered lesions in the peritoneum and great omentum. No malignant or borderline malignant finding was observed. Because of a benign disease, careful treatment taking fertility preservation into consideration is necessary, especially for young patients.

INTRODUCTION: Tumors of Fallopian tubes are rare in general, and they are the rarest tumors of female genital tract. According to clasification of World health organisation (WHO), papillomas, cystadenoma, adenofibroma, cystadenofibroma (CAF), metaplastic papillary tumors and endometrioid polyps belong to group of benign tumors. Serous papillary cystadenofibroma (SPCAF) is rare tumor and it is ususally located on fimbrial end of the tube and it is considered that it has "Müllerian" origin. AIM: The aim of this article is to show a rare case of cystadenofibroma of Fallopian tube which was found as random sample during histopathological analysis of specimen which was extracted during laparatomy due to the large tumor mass in abdomen. CASE REPORT: A 43-year-old patient underwent surgery for a large tumor mass in the abdomen, unknown lesions and pathohistology, which was radiologically verified four years before hospitalization. We removed the specimen that made up the tumor, along with the uterus and adnexes, weighing 14 kg and sent for histopatology. A large tumor mass is made up of a giant uterine myoma, and in the analysis of the other preparation, in addition to endometrial adenocarcinoma, there is also a rare Fallopian tube cystadenofibroma. On the sixth day of hospitalization, the patient is discharged home. At control after three months, the patient was without problems, with ongoing adjuvant brachytherapy. CONCLUSION: Improvement of prevention measures and work on the continuing education of patients and physicians at the primary care level are needed to ensure that patients receive the best treatment in a timely manner. Cystadenofibroma is a rare tumor in general and gynecologic oncology, and as authors it is a great honor for us to contribute to the world literature and to present the twentieth case of this tumor.

Serous cystadenofibromas are uncommon benign ovarian lesions, consisting of both fibrous and epithelial components, that are usually cystic but may contain solid or papillary architecture that can be confused with a malignancy on imaging. Papillary architecture seen on frozen section may also falsely steer the pathologist in the direction of a diagnosis of a borderline serous tumor. Overcalling the lesion may lead to more aggressive surgery than necessary, so extensive tissue sampling and consideration of this entity is important in possibly avoiding this mistake.

AIM: This study was aimed to evaluate the risk factors of recurrence and the value of nodal involvement in patients with serous borderline ovarian tumors (SBOT). METHODS: Two hundred twenty-five patients who underwent surgery and were diagnosed with SBOT were retrospectively studied. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess the risk factors for recurrence. Patients' clinical pathologic characteristics were compared between the patients who presented lymph node involvement and those who did not. The significant values of lymph condition influencing 5-year disease-free survival were also evaluated by statistical analysis. RESULTS: Both univariate and multivariate analyses showed that risk factors for recurrence were micropapillary (P = 0.021), fertility-preserving surgery (P = 0.014), and laparoscopic approach (P = 0.009). Of these 112 patients on whom lymphadenectomy was performed, 17 cases showed lymph node positive, whereas the remaining 95 patients did not. Significant differences in terms of lymph node numbers (P < 0.0001), invasive implant (P = 0.022), and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging (P < 0.0001) were observed between the 2 groups of lymphatic node involved or not. Kaplan-Meier curves of 5-year disease-free survival revealed that there were no significant differences either between groups of lymphatic node involved or not (P = 0.778) and groups of removed nodes whether more than 10 or not (P = 0.549). CONCLUSIONS: Micropapillary, fertility-preserving, and laparoscopic approach were factors significantly affecting the recurrence of SBOT by both univariate and multivariate analysis. Lymph node metastasis did not seem to be correlated to a worse prognosis of SBOT.

Background: Tumor-directed circulating autoantibodies (AAb) are a well-established feature of many solid tumor types, and are often observed prior to clinical disease manifestation. As such, they may provide a good indicator of early disease development. We have conducted a pilot study to identify novel AAbs as markers of early-stage HGSOCs.Methods: A rare cohort of patients with early (FIGO stage Ia-c) HGSOCs for IgG, IgA, and IgM-mediated AAb reactivity using high-content protein arrays (containing 9,184 individual proteins). AAb reactivity against selected antigens was validated by ELISA in a second, independent cohort of individual patients.Results: A total of 184 antigens were differentially detected in early-stage HGSOC patients compared with all other patient groups assessed. Among the six most highly detected "early-stage" antigens, anti-IgA AAbs against HSF1 and anti-IgG AAbs CCDC155 (KASH5; nesprin 5) were significantly elevated in patients with early-stage malignancy. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis suggested that AAbs against HSF1 provided better detection of early-stage malignancy than CA125 alone. Combined measurement of anti-HSF1, anti-CCDC155, and CA125 also improved efficacy at higher sensitivity.Conclusions: The combined measurement of anti-HSF1, anti-CCDC155, and CA125 may be useful for early-stage HGSOC detection.Impact: This is the first study to specifically identify AAbs associated with early-stage HGSOC. The presence and high frequency of specific AAbs in early-stage cancer patients warrants a larger scale examination to define their value for early disease detection at primary diagnosis and/or recurrence.

Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) have a low malignant potential and occur most often in young women. Its preoperative diagnosis can improve surgical strategy and reproductive approach. This study systematically reviews the literature for the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS), magnetic resonance (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) in the diagnostic of BOTs. We conducted a search in PubMed/Medline of articles in English from the last 5 years and included 14 studies for systematic review, 9 of them in the meta-analysis. The pooled sensibility and specificity was respectively 77.0% and 83.0% for TVUS (5 studies) and 85% and 74% for MRI (4 studies) in differentiating benign from malignant BOTs. CT and positron emission tomography (PET)-CT techniques were heterogeneous between studies, so a meta-analysis was not performed for the 4 studies on CT and PET-CT. However, these 4 studies have also shown a high accuracy in differentiating BOTs from malignant ovarian cancers.

Serous papillary cystadenofibromas (SPCAFs) of the fallopian tube are very rare benign tumors of the female genital tract. They are usually asymptomatic and are found incidentally. Until now, only 18 cases of this tumor have been reported in the world literature. We report a case of SPCAF of the left fallopian tube in a 30-year-old female who presented with a large abdominal mass and pain. On computed tomography, a diagnosis of ovarian neoplasm was given. However, during surgery the tumor was found to arise from the fallopian tube and was treated with tubal cystectomy with sparing of the ovary. We present this unique case on account of its rarity, unusual presentation, and huge size along with a short review of literature.

OBJECTIVE: External validation of the IOTA group's three-step diagnostic model (Strategy 1) and comparison with assessment by an expert sonographer (Strategy 2). STUDY DESIGN: Prospective study in patients with persistent adnexal masses, in which an inexperienced sonographer performed transvaginal ultrasound applying simple descriptors (SD) and rules (SR) for classifying as benign or malignant. Any non-classifiable mass was then submitted to an expert examiner for subjective assessment (SA). RESULTS: Eighty-one patients (mean age, 43; 27.2% postmenopausal) were included in this prospective study. Surgery was performed for 30 (8 malignant and 22 benign) masses; 51 masses were considered as benign and managed expectantly (they were assumed to be benign for statistical purposes). Diagnostic performance for Strategy 1 (SD+SR+SA) was sensitivity (SN): 87.5% (7/8, 95% CI, 47.3-99.7%) and specificity (SP): 100% (73/73, 95% CI, 95.1-100%). For Strategy 2 (SA only) it was SN 87.5% (7/8, 95% CI, 47.3-99.7%), SP 98.6% (72/73, 95% CI, 92.6-100%). CONCLUSIONS: The three-step diagnostic strategy designed by the IOTA group for adnexal masses has a diagnostic performance comparable to that of subjective expert assessment and could be used as a triage method by nonexpert sonographers.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for progression to invasive carcinoma in patients with borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs). METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of all patients treated and followed for BOTs between 1996 and 2011. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for progression to invasive carcinoma. RESULTS: A total of 364 patients were identified. During the median follow-up of 53.8 months, 31 patients (8.5%) developed recurrent disease: 12 (3.3%) had recurrent disease with progression to invasive carcinoma, and 19 (5.2%) had recurrent disease with borderline histology. Disease-related deaths (7/364; 1.7%) were observed only in patients with progression to invasive carcinoma. The multivariate analysis showed that independent risk factors for progression to invasive carcinoma were advanced disease stage (hazard ratio [HR], 5.59; P = 0.005), age 65 years or older (HR, 5.13; P = 0.037), and the presence of microinvasion (HR, 3.71; P = 0.047). These 3 factors were also independently related to overall survival. CONCLUSIONS: Although patients with BOTs have an excellent prognosis, the risk of progression to invasive carcinoma and thereby death remains. Therefore, physicians should pay closer attention to BOT patients with these risk factors (ie, advanced disease stage, old age, and microinvasion), and more careful surveillance for progression to invasive carcinoma is needed.

OBJECTIVE: A systematic review was performed to estimate the accuracy of human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) assay in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors. METHODS: A comprehensive search of the MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, IBECS, BIOSIS, Web of Science, SCOPUS, congress abstracts, and Grey literature (Google scholar; British Library) from January 1990 to April 2013 was conducted. Studies that evaluated HE4 levels for the diagnosis of ovarian tumors and compared them with paraffin-embedded sections as the diagnostic standard were included. RESULTS: Forty-five studies were analyzed, which included 10,671 women and 3946 ovarian cancer cases. The pooled sensitivity for the diagnosis of borderline tumors or ovarian cancer was 78% (95% confidence interval, 77%-79%), and the specificity was 86% (95% confidence interval, 85%-87%). Summary receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed. For malignant and borderline ovarian tumors versus benign lesions, the area under the curve was 0.916. Besides the overall analysis, stratification was performed in premenopause and postmenopause, early and late stages, and for accuracy by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and chemiluminescence microparticle immuno assay. CONCLUSIONS: A HE4 level is a useful preoperative test for predicting the benign or malignant nature of pelvic masses.

BACKGROUND: The Obermair nomogram was recently developed to predict the risk of relapse in patients with borderline ovarian tumours (BOTs) based on five readily available clinical, biological, and pathological characteristics. We set out to externally validate and assess its robustness using a multi-institutional BOT database. METHODS: All consecutive patients treated for BOTs in the two participating centres between January 1980 and December 2008 and who had all the nomogram variables documented were identified for analysis. RESULTS: Three hundred and fourteen eligible patients were identified and used for external validation analysis. The median follow-up and initial relapse time were 46.43 (range: 0.1-360) and 66.64 (range: 8-77) months, respectively. The nomogram concordance index was 0.54 (95% CI, 0.52-0.56). The correspondence between the actual relapse and the nomogram predictions suggests a limited calibration of the nomogram in the validation cohort. CONCLUSION: This external validation study of the Obermair nomogram showed limitations in its generalisability to a new and independent patient population.
