Pelvic recurrence of an ovarian seromucinous borderline tumor detected by vaginal cytology: A case report and review of the literature

Abstract: Seromucinous borderline tumors are typically confined to the ovaries and rarely relapse after surgery. We report the case of a woman with a seromucinous borderline tumor with peritoneal implant at the Douglas pouch, who was affected by a recurrent tumor at the vaginal stump 2 years and 6 months after the primary surgery. The recurrent lesion was detected by vaginal cytology. Histology of the recurrent lesion showed perineural infiltration, and progression to low-grade adenocarcinoma was suggested. After the se… Show more

“…The present case describes rare case of a borderline serous tumor detected by Pap smear. To our knowledge there are only six described cases in literature of SBT detected by Pap smear as the first presentation of the disease (8,14,16,17,18,19) and one case of an ovarian seromucinous borderline tumor recurrence (20). Psammoma bodies were found in five of described SBT cases (8,14,16,18,19), two of them with psammoma bodies only (8,14) and others with abnormal glandular cells like in our case.…”

“…As mentioned above, the clinical and histological characteristics of SMBT have been previously well described. However, the cytological characteristics of SMBT remain unclear, and only 1 case report of pelvic recurrence has described the cytological findings of SMBT [5]. In this report, the tumor cells of SMBT were observed in a cytological sample of the vaginal stump obtained after radical surgery.…”

“…Although the clinical and histopathological characteristics of SMBT are well described in the literature, its cytological characteristics have not been reported. To the best of our knowledge, there is only 1 case report that referred to the cytological findings of SMBT [5]. We recently treated 2 cases of SMBT which were successfully diagnosed by cytological findings of ascites using a combination of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and mucin staining using cell blocks.…”

“…Numerous neutrophils are commonly observed within the stroma, epithelium, or luminal spaces. Although the low-power architecture closely resembles SBTs, the lining cells are distinctly different, composed of a variety of epithelial In peritoneal fluids, seromucinous tumors will have varying cytomorphologic features, depending largely on the predominant epithelial cell type of the primary lesion [51,52]. The fluid may demonstrate tumor cells with serous, mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell, transitional, or even squamous cell morphology.…”
