The morphologic features of metastatic high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy have not been described. We conducted a 1-year retrospective, single-institution review of pretreatment biopsy and posttreatment metastases in cases of HGSOC treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Two gynecologic pathologists and 1 pathology resident reviewed 11 cases looking for 6 morphologic features.

Introduction: Micropapillary serous borderline ovarian tumours (MP-SBOTs) are an aggressive subtype of serous borderline ovarian tumours (SBOTs). Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Radical surgery (RS, including debulking) is an alternative.

In serous borderline ovarian tumor (SBOT), a micropapillary (MP) pattern has been considered analogous to intraepithelial low-grade serous carcinoma (LGSC). On this account, it is reasonable to hypothesize that MP-SBOT is more likely to be associated with extraovarian LGSC localizations (also referred to as 'invasive implants') compared to conventional SBOT. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between a MP pattern and invasive implants in SBOT.

Using immunohistochemistry, we examined a large cohort of 135 ovarian tumors, made up of 96 low-grade serous carcinomas (LGSCs) and 39 serous borderline tumors (micropapillary variant, mSBT), with the aim of exploring their HER2 status (overexpression). We followed with comprehensive genomic analyses on this sample set from our previous study, which revealed HER2 mutation in 5% (4/75) of LGSC and 10% (3/29) of mSBT. No cases were evaluated as HER2-positive, but 6 LGSCs and 1 mSBT were scored as HER2 1+, and 2 LGSCs and 1 mSBT showed the so-called HER2 "ultra-low" phenotype.
