Establishment of immortalized ovarian stromal cell lines using Sendai virus vectors: a platform for studying tumor-stroma interactions and carcinogenesis.

We aimed to generate immortalized stromal cell lines from the ovarian and fallopian tube tissues of a single patient using Sendai virus (SeV) vectors and identify candidate stromal genes involved …

Immunohistochemistry combined with Alcian Blue-Periodic Acid Schiff (AB-PAS) staining in the differentiation of ovarian seromucinous borderline tumors and mucinous borderline tumors.

This study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features of ovarian seromucinous borderline tumors (SMBTs) and mucinous borderline tumors (MBTs) and to establish a diagnostic approach using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Alcian …

Two possible entities of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer: correlated or incidental?

Mixed Ovarian Neoplasms With Gastrointestinal-type Mucinous and Mullerian Epithelial Components: A Rare Group of Tumors Demonstrating the Phenotypic Plasticity of the Mullerian Epithelial Cell.

Primary mucinous ovarian neoplasms, gastrointestinal-type (GI-type), are composed of mucin-producing tumor cells resembling intestinal goblet cells or gastric foveolar epithelium. In contrast to seromucinous tumors, which exhibit endocervical-type mucinous differentiation …
