The primary site of origin is indeterminate based on morphology alone. Immunohistochemical (IHC) correlation is recommended:
Massive complex solid-cystic pelvic mass obliterating both ovaries and encasing the uterus, accompanied by irregular circumferential thickening at the rectosigmoid junction causing partial large bowel obstruction, highly suspicious for an advanced pelvic malignancy of either primary ovarian or colonic origin with suspected omental metastasis.
The specimen consisted of a segment of the sigmoid colon, a separate segment of the colon, a uterus with bilateral fallopian tubes, and two separate ovarian masses. The sigmoid colon segment measured 19 cm long and has attached mesenteric fat measuring 7 x 3 cm. Sectioning revealed a solid, firm, creamy-colored mass measuring 3 x 2.5 x 2.3 cm, located 1.4 cm from the proximal margin and 1.7 cm from the distal margin. Mesenteric fat contained 9 lymph nodes, the largest measured 0.6 cm. A separate segment of the colon measured 7 cm was received. Opening revealed no gross masses or ulceration. The uterus measured 7x5.5x4 cm, cervix measured 2.5 cm, myometrial thickness was 2 cm, and the endometrial thickness measured 0.4 cm. The right fallopian tube measured 5.5 cm, and the left fallopian tube measured 5.8 cm, long. Also received, two separate ovarian masses, both exhibiting a smooth outer surface. The first ovarian mass measured 13 x 8.5 x 7.5 cm, and upon sectioning, revealed a solid, firm, creamy and hemorrhagic mass measuring 11 x 8 x 7 cm. The second ovarian mass measured 11.5 x 7.5 x 7 cm, and upon sectioning, revealed a solid, firm, creamy-colored mass measuring 10.5 x 7 x 6 cm.
