Popis: Objective This study aims to demonstrate clinicopathological characteristics and immunohistopathological phenotypes of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) originated from ovaries. Methods The primary origin of PMP was explored by reviewing H&E sections retrospectively and performing a series of immunohistochemical staining on CK7, CK20, CDX2, CEA, Villin, SATB2, CA125, ER, PR, and MUC. Results Among 310 PMP patients, a few originated from extra-appendix, whereas eight cases were of ovarian origin (2.6%), including three teratoma-associated ovarian mucinous tumors and five primary ovarian mucinous tumors with spontaneous or iatrogenic rupture, respectively. Most peritoneal metastases were acellular mucin or low-grade mucinous carcinoma peritonei (6/8, 75%), while the rest were high-grade mucinous carcinoma peritonei (2/8, 25%). Tumors were positive for CK20, CDX2, CEA, and Villin. SATB2 was specifically diffuse positive in teratoma-associated ovarian mucinous tumors, and negative in primary ovarian mucinous tumors. Differential expression of MUC was observed in these tumors. Conclusion PMP of ovarian origin is extremely rare. The precise diagnosis requires serial sections of the appendix or suspicious tissue to exclude appendiceal mucinous neoplasms, as well as comprehensive analysis of clinical features, surgical findings, histopathological characteristics, and immunohistochemistry on specific biomarkers.
