Next-generation Sequencing of an Ovarian Spindle Cell Tumor Identified an Ovarian Low-grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma: A Rare Entity.

Ovarian spindle cell tumors comprise a heterogeneous group of ovarian neoplasms from benign to malignant. Since this morphologic finding describes a broad category of ovarian neoplasms, it is not easy to determine an accurate diagnosis. Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS) is a rare gynecological malignancy that presents with spindle cell lesions.

Disparate genomic characteristics of concurrent endometrial adenocarcinoma and ovarian granulosa cell tumor, revealed by targeted next-generation sequencing.

Concurrence of both endometrial adenocarcinoma and ovarian adult granulosa cell tumor (aGCT) is believed to be related to high estrogen milieu, but genomic alterations of the concurrent endometrial adenocarcinoma and aGCT are not known. For this, we analyzed an uterine endometrial adenocarcinoma and an ovarian aGCT in a same patient by a targeted next generation sequencing (NGS). We found a germline mutation in STK11 (p.
