However, it has been reported that MMBT shares many clinicopathologic features with serous borderline tumor (SBT). Furthermore, some investigators have explained the histogenesis of MMBT by metaplastic and hyperplastic transformation of endometriosis [1].
The purpose of this study is to substantiate the concept that MMBT is histogenetically closer to SBT or low-grade endometrioid tumors than to IMBT by directly comparing their immunophenotype.
A total of 80 cases of low-grade ovarian tumors composed of 20 MMBTs, 20 IMBTs, 20 SBTs, and 20 low-grade endometrioid tumors (LG-ETs), were immunohistochemically evaluated for the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), vimentin, WT-1, beta-catenin and PTEN.
Almost all cases of MMBT, SBT, and LG-ET showed diffuse and strong nuclear expression of ER and PgR. In addition, about half of the MMBT, SBT, and LG-ET cases showed focal but strong vimentin cytoplasmic expression. In contrast, IMBT showed no expression of ER, PgR, or vimentin, except for one case in which ER expression was very focally and weakly observed. Beta-catenin nuclear expression was significantly more frequent in LG-ET than in MMBT, IMBT, or SBT. PTEN expression was significantly lower in LG-ET than in MMBT, IMBT and SBT. Multiple comparisons of quantitative immunoreactivities of ER, PgR, and vimentin revealed that the IMBT expression profiles were significantly different from those of MMBTs, SBTs, and LG-ETs.
The immunohistochemical expression profiles of ER, PgR, and vimentin substantiate the concept that the histogenesis of MMBT is closer to those of SBT and LG-ET than to that of IMBT. However, aberrant expression of bata-catenin and PTEN gene, both of which are known to contribute the tumorigenesis of LG-ET, appeared to be less important for the tumorigenesis of MMBT.
