Agree with above, but favor small cell carcinoma of ovary.
There are morphologic suggestions for small cell carcinoma such as sheets of high grade carcinoma cells with scant cytoplasm, salt and pepper chromatin pattern and nuclear molding (seen better in last photo), mitoses, necrosis, etc. Synatophysin is only weakly positive which is not surprising in neuroendocrine tumor. Have you tried chromogranin A and CD57 (Leu-7)? CD57 is a very good marker for neuroendocrine tumor. Patient may not have hypercalcimia and other para-neoplastic symdrome in this 61 years old. There are 2 subtypes of small cell carcinomas divided primarily based on patients' age. The hypercalcimia type is more common in younger patients.
Toss my two pennies thoughts for discussion. Differential diagnosese include:
1) granulosa cell tumor adult type; please run inhibin to confirm
2) small cell carcinoma with hypercalcimium of the ovary: please check calcium level clinically
3) endometrial stromal sarcoma: your CD10 negativity essentially rule out this DDx.
Please provide your differential diagnosis and study to include in or exclude out.
