Ovarian clear cell adenocarcinomas (CCACs) are frequently associated with endometriosis and, less often with clear cell adenofibromas (CCAFs). We encountered a case of ovarian CCAC arising from benign and borderline adenofibromas of the clear cell and endometrioid types with endometriosis in a 53-year-old woman. Regions of the adenofibromas showed transformation to CCAC and regions of the endometriosis showed atypical endometriotic cysts. This case demonstrates that CCAC can arise from CCAF or endometriosis.

Abstract PDF: Ovarian endometrioid adenofibroma is rare and characterized by prominent stroma. Its histologic classification is controversial but the malignant counterpart is distinguished from the borderline by the presence of confluent growth pattern of epithelium with invasion of the stroma by the endometrioid cells. A fifty-year-old woman was admitted with one month history of abdominal enlargement. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed under the clinical diagnosis of ovarian malignancy. Grossly, the righy ovary had round, encapsulated, solid and whitish gray mass which measured 9 cm in the greatest dimension and showed peripheral small cysts. Microscopic examination revealed that the tumor consisted of endometria type glands set in fibrous stroma. The glands varied from tubules to cysts and the lining cells showed complicated architectural pattern with occasional papillary infoldings, atypical mitosis and malignant nuclear characteristics. Some cysts of glands showed intraluminal mucin products. Stromal invasions by individual epithelial cells showing malignant characteristics were often found. A brief summary of the histopathologic aspect of this tumor is presented together with review of literatures.

Abstract PDF: Juvenile cellular adenofibroma of the breast is a unique neoplasm of the breast that should be differentiated from other important benign and malignant lesions of the juvenile breasts. We report a case with it's characteristic clinical, gross and histological features. The tumor was in the right breast with the size of 20 cm in maximum extent. This patient was also associated with hemihypertrophy of the right side. Microscopically the masses were characterized by prominent stromal cellularity associated with pericanalicular duct proliferation.
