Abstract
Summary: Microcystic stromal tumor of the ovary is a very rare ovarian tumor with
distinctive microcystic histologic features and a characteristic immunophenotype of
stromal tumor. However, its origin, tumor pathogenesis, and prognosis have not been
well established until now. We report a very unusual case of a microcystic stromal
tumor of the ovary with a mutation in exon 3 of the b-catenin (CTNNB1) gene.
Macroscopically, the fragmented ovarian tumor showed a diffuse solid mass. Microscopically,
the tumor had a pathognomonic histologic pattern of solid and cellular areas
with microcysts and fibrous hyalinized stroma. Immunohistochemical staining with
CD10, vimentin, CD99, and b-catenin showed positive expression. However, a-inhibin
and E-cadherin showed negativity. Mutational analysis revealed a point mutation in
exon 3 of the b-catenin (CTNNB1) gene. Key Words: Microcystic stromal tumor—
Ovary—b-Catenin—Mutation.
