Ovary microcystic stromal tumor (MCST) is an extremely rare subtype of sex cord-stromal neoplasm, and only 57 cases have been reported. We herein report a unique case of ovarian MCST with positive nestin expression in a 39-year-old Chinese woman. The tumor showed microcystic stromal histological structures and characteristically expressed the CD10, WT-1, and Ki67 proteins. A molecular analysis identified a point mutation (c.110C > T) in exon 3 of the CTNNB1 gene. To our knowledge, no report has described a case of ovarian MCST with positive staining for nestin protein. Our study provides new insights into the tumor biology of ovarian MCST.
卵巢微囊型基质瘤(MCST)是一种极为罕见的性索-间质肿瘤亚型,仅有 57 例报道。本文报道了一例独特的卵巢 MCST 病例,患者为 39 岁中国女性,巢蛋白呈阳性表达。肿瘤呈微囊型基质组织学结构,特征性表达 CD10、WT-1 和 Ki67 蛋白。分子分析发现 CTNNB1 基因外显子 3 存在点突变(c.110C > T)。据我们所知,尚无巢蛋白阳性染色的卵巢 MCST 病例报道。本研究为卵巢 MCST 的肿瘤生物学提供了新的见解。
