- Abstract
- Ovarian mucinous tumors are subclassified in multiple categories. Recent studies have highlighted issues in interobserver reproducibility. This review will focus on some new developments including criteria and ancillary tests that may help to improve interobserver reproducibility at clinically important thresholds. These issues include proposals for a separate terminology of teratoma-associated ovarian mucinous neoplasms, the role of TP53 immunohistochemistry in distinction of crowded mucinous borderline tumors and expansile mucinous carcinomas as well as the assignment of the infiltrative pattern of invasion, which recently has been validated as important prognostic factor even in low stage mucinous ovarian carcinoma.
