The main neoplasms in the differential diagnosis for primary ovarian tumors with a tubule-rich pattern are pure Sertoli cell tumor, endometrioid tumors (including borderline tumor, well-differentiated carcinoma, and the sertoliform variant of endometrioid carcinoma), and carcinoid tumor. Because traditional immunohistochemical markers [pan-cytokeratin (pan-CK), low molecular weight cytokeratin (CK8/18), epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), inhibin, calretinin, CD99, chromogranin, and synaptophysin] can occasionally have diagnostic limitations, the goal of this study was to determine whether or not any alternative markers [cytokeratin 7 (CK7), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), CD10, and CD56] have better diagnostic utility when compared with traditional markers for this differential diagnosis. Immunohistochemical stains for alternative, as well as traditional, markers were performed on the following primary ovarian tumors: pure Sertoli cell tumor (n = 40), endometrioid borderline tumor (n = 38), sertoliform endometrioid carcinoma (n = 13), well-differentiated endometrioid carcinoma (n = 27), and carcinoid tumor (n = 42). Extent and intensity of immunostaining were semiquantitatively scored. In addition, immunohistochemical composite scores (ICSs) in positive cases were calculated on the basis of the combination of extent and intensity scores. Cytokeratin 7 (CK7) was positive in 97% of endometrioid tumors, 13% of Sertoli cell tumors, and 24% of carcinoid tumors. The differences in the mean ICSs for endometrioid tumors versus Sertoli cell tumor or carcinoid tumor were statistically significant (P values ranging from <0.001 to 0.018). ER and PR were positive in 87% and 86% of endometrioid tumors, 8% and 13% of Sertoli cell tumors, and 2% each of carcinoid tumors, respectively. The differences in the mean ICSs for endometrioid tumors versus Sertoli cell tumor were statistically significant (P values ranging from <0.001 to 0.012). Among the epithelial markers, EMA seemed to be the most discriminatory but only slightly better than CK7, ER, or PR. Pan-CK and CK8/18 were not helpful. CD10 showed overlapping patterns of expression in all categories of tumors. Among the sex cord markers, CD10 was markedly less useful than inhibin or calretinin; CD99 was not discriminatory. CD56 showed overlapping patterns of expression in all categories of tumors. Among the neuroendocrine markers, CD56 was less useful than chromogranin or synaptophysin. When traditional immunohistochemical markers are problematic for the differential diagnosis of ovarian Sertoli cell tumor versus endometrioid tumors versus carcinoid tumor, adding CK7, ER, and/or PR to a panel of markers can be helpful. Endometrioid tumors more frequently express CK7, ER, and PR and show a greater extent of immunostaining in contrast to Sertoli cell tumor and carcinoid tumor. Compared with traditional epithelial markers, CK7, ER, and PR are nearly as advantageous as EMA. Inhibin is the most discriminatory sex cord marker, and CD10 is not helpful in the differential diagnosis. Chromogranin and synaptophysin are excellent discriminatory markers for carcinoid tumor, and CD56 is neither sufficiently sensitive nor specific enough for this differential diagnosis to warrant its use in routine practice.
以上都是支持细胞瘤,是我从AFIP的存档中找出来的,我曾经做过免疫组化(每一例都做了20种左右的染色)。在AFIP的时候我曾经复习了150例的SCT病例,40例做了免疫组化。
对于第四例有人认为是性索间质肿瘤伴环状小管(SCTAT),但是也有称作SCT,复杂管状型(Tavassoli)。其实二者可能是对相同的肿瘤不同作者的不同叫法。认为是SCTAT的可能将之与Peutz-Jeghers综合症联系起来了。实际上Dr。Young的文章发现有11%(6/54)的SCT患者具有该综合症。
第五例是SCT,梭形细胞样生长的组织结构。如果仔细观察的话还是可以看到管状的结构的。

For the last case, please observe the cytomorphology and architectures of the tumor more carefully. Did you notice some compacted tubular structures? Did you see granulosa tumors like this one before?
I can tell you that all these tumors are ov sex cord tumors. Just think a little more and give the reasonable guess. Frankly speaking rare people in the world have seen this growth pattern of the tumor. Now you are one of them.

cqzhao老师回复:最后一例,注意仔细观察其细胞形态和肿瘤结构。看到那些比较紧密的管状结构了吗?以前看到过这样的粒层细胞瘤吗?
可以告诉大家的是,这几个病例都是卵巢的性索细胞肿瘤。仔细考虑一下,给出reasonable guess。老实说,看到具有这样的生长方式的这种肿瘤的人不多 (the fifth case)。现在你们就是其中之一……
All of them are pure sertoli cell tumors (SCT) from AFIP files I once used them for IHC study (about 20 stains for each cases). I reviewed 150 cases of pure SCT and used 40 cases for IHC study at AFIP.
As some of you mentioned the case 4 may be called sex cord tumor with annular tubules (SCTAT). Some people may call SCT, complex tubular pattern (Tavassoli). Basically they are the same tumors called different tumors by different authours. People though SCTAT may be related with Peutz-Jeghers syndroma (P-Z-S). In fact Dr. Young paper indicated 11% (6/54)of SCT patients had PJS.
Case 5 is SCT with spindle cell growth pattern. You will appreciate the tubular structure if you see the photos carefully.
Dr. Young paper: Among 54 SCT, The predominant microscopic pattern was tubular, seen, albeit often only focally, in all tumors; other patterns were cords or trabeculae (28), diffuse (21), pseudopapillary (4), retiform (3), islands or alveolar arrangements (3), and spindled (3). The tubules were solid or hollow with the former being somewhat more common.
Remeber that tubular structures are present in all SCT even though they can be very focal.
The largest and best paper about morphogolgic description and clinical followup results of SCT is Dr Young's paper.
The largest and detailed IHC studies on SCT are my two papers. I paste these three papers in the following for some ones who may be interested.
