2 Mucinous ovarian tumours 15% of all ovarian neoplasms Continuum from benign borderline malignant benign mucinous cystadenoma 10-15% mucinous tumours of low malignant potential (mucinous borderline tumours) 67% invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma tumours metastatic to the ovary 4%
3 Mucinous Tumour - Ovary
4 Pseudomyxoma peritonei
5 Pseudomyxoma peritonei

7 Mucinous Carcinoma Primary Unilateral >10cm Metastatic Bilateral If Unilateral <10 cm Seidman J.D. et al Am J Surg Pathol 2003; 27: 985 The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
8 Mucinous carcinoma MC rarely bilateral present as Stage Ia Grade 1 or 2 treated by surgical resection and no adjuvant chemotherapy Recurrent or metastatic MC associated with poor prognosis Unusual sites for mets (lung/bone) Mucinous carcinoma (show reduced mucin cf borderline mucinous tumours) Most of intestinal type endocervical (Mullarian type) rare
9 Distinction between primary ovarian carcinoma and metastases to the ovary (1) Feature Primary Metastatic Laterality Unilateral Bilateral Size Max diameter > 12 cm Max diameter < 10 cm Extensive intraabdominal spread Multinodular growth pattern with intervening normal parenchyma Surface involvement Unlikely Not usual Not usual (other than background endometriosis) More likely Characteristic Characteristic Hilar involvement Absent/not typical Typical Extensive vascular invasion Not usual Favours metastasis Singh, N; 2014
10 Distinction between primary ovarian carcinoma and metastases to the ovary (2) Feature Primary Metastatic Patterns specifically favouring primary or metastatic carcinoma Associated benign, borderline and malignant appearing areas Complex papillary architecture Association with background changes such as endometriosis, Brenner tumour, mature cystic teratoma, Sertoli- Leydig cell tumour, adenofibroma Beware phenomenon of maturation of ovarian metastases may result in similar gradation of features Signet ring carcinoma Pseudomyxoma peritoneii or ovarii; Colloid carcinoma; Infiltrative pattern of small glands with desmoplastic reaction; Single cell infiltrate Singh, N; 2014

20 Falling incidence of primary mucinous ovarian carcinoma diagnosis better recognition of the clinical importance of making the distinction stage I mucinous ovarian carcinoma has an excellent prognosis metastasis from upper GI / pancreatic primary very poor prognosis treatment quite different better histological distinction between metastases to the ovary and primary mucinous ovarian carcinoma pattern recognition cytokeratin and other immunohistochemical staining better preoperative work-up with imaging, and tumour markers coupled with MDT discussion

24 Mucinous ovarian carcinoma responds poorly to platinum based chemotherapy Harrison et al; Int J Gynecol Cancer 2008:

30 meoc Data submitted to ASCO 2015 Specialist pathology review n = were considered to not have primary meoc (many metastatic disease) Setting up & conducting this international trial was challenging in this rare group Correctly assigning histological diagnosis was difficult. Primary meoc is rare so different approaches are needed to evaluate new therapies.

48 Mucinous ovarian carcinoma conclusions Probably the most challenging subtype of ovarian cancer due to its rarity and diagnostic difficulty Large phase disease orientated 3 trials seem unlikely to succeed (meoc) Would a broader study enroling patients with advanced stage mucinous tumours involving the ovary whether primary or secondary be more likely to succeed??adaptive trial design platform study with a series of single arms or randomised phase 2 trials defined by molecular phenotype. Clinical & translational endpoints Monitoring & reporting strategy: SMART [Shared Access Medicine an Approach to Rare Tumours] Broad international cooperation
