Ovarian microcystic stromal tumors (MST) are a rare subtype of sex-cord stromal tumors. We are presenting a case of a MST arising in a patient with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and concurrent colonic adenocarcinoma. During the patient's workup of an ampullary adenoma associated with her FAP, she was found to have an enlarged uterus with a thickened endometrium and an incidental pelvic mass on the fundus of the uterus.

- Standardized terminology in cancer reporting improves clarity, but benign diagnoses in endometrial biopsies currently lack such a system.
- A group from the Canadian Association of Pathologists worked to develop a guideline for a consistent diagnostic lexicon for benign endometrial pathology.
- After implementing this guideline with five pathologists and analyzing over 200 biopsies, the proposed terminology effectively covered 95.8% of cases, highlighting its potential to enhance patient care and support future research.
Ovarian thecal metaplasia is a rare tumor-like mesenchymal lesion of the adrenal gland that has been reported mainly in postmenopausal women and rarely in men. It was originally described as a wedge-shaped lesion composed of ovarian-like stroma resembling theca that shows continuity with the capsule of the adrenal gland. We report three cases and identify that these lesions can resemble a radial scar.
