She underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, lymphadenectomy, omentectomy, and peritoneal biopsies. Histopathologic examination of the bilateral ovarian masses revealed 1 ovary with MLA, and the other ovary showed HGSC in association with serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma. The morphology, immunophenotypes, and molecular profiling of the HGSC and the MLA were distinct and as expected for the different tumor types: HGSC was diffusely positive for WT-1, estrogen receptor, and p53 (mutant pattern), while negative for GATA-3 and TTF-1; MLA was positive for GATA-3 and TTF-1, while negative for WT1, estrogen receptor, and p53 (wild-type pattern); both tumors were diffusely positive for PAX-8. The HGSC revealed a TP53 c.659A>G (p.Y220C) mutation, and the MLA revealed a KRAS c. 34G>T (p. G12C) mutation and a PIK3CA c. 1034A>T (p. N345I) mutation.

Multivariate analysis showed that a binary Silva pattern of invasion classification was associated with recurrence-free and disease-specific survival (P < 0.05) whereas FIGO 2018 stage I substages were not. Evaluation of the current 3-tiered system showed that disease-specific survival for those patients with pattern B tumors did not significantly differ from that for those patients with pattern C tumors, in contrast to that for those patients with pattern A tumors.

This study aimed to evaluate the technical validity and additional benefits of using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in combination with p57KIP2 immunostaining to diagnose molar and non-molar conceptuses. The study involved 80 specimens, which underwent genetic diagnosis using short tandem repeat analysis, including 44 androgenetic CHMs, 20 diandric monogynic PHMs, 14 biparental non-molar hydropic abortions, 1 monoandric digynic triploid abortion, and 1 vaginal specimen of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Two pathologists independently diagnosed the cases based on morphology and p57KIP2 immunostaining while the clinical information was masked. FISH analysis was performed using 3 probes (CEP17, CEPX, and CEPY), which revealed that all androgenetic CHM and biparental diploid non-molar hydropic abortion specimens were diploid. Among the 20 diandric monogynic PHM cases examined by analyzing short tandem repeat polymorphisms, 18 were triploid, and the remaining 2 were diploid. These two specimens were possibly androgenetic/biparental mosaics based on FISH analysis, where the three-signal ratios counting 50 cells were clearly within the diploid ranges. Eight of the 20 genetic PHMs and 2 of the 14 genetically confirmed non-molar hydropic abortions that were falsely diagnosed based on morphology and immunohistochemistry by at least 1 pathologist were correctly diagnosed as PHM and non-molar hydropic abortion, respectively, by FISH analysis. However, 1 monoandric digynic villus was classified as triploid by FISH analysis, leading to a false PHM diagnosis.
