Dedifferentiated and Undifferentiated Ovarian Carcinoma: An Aggressive and Molecularly Distinct Ovarian Tumor Characterized by Frequent SWI/SNF Complex Inactivation
Original language description
Dedifferentiated and undifferentiated ovarian carcinomas (DDOC/UDOC) are rare neoplasms defined by the presence of an undifferentiated carcinoma. In this study, we detailed the clinical, pathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of a series of DDOC/UDOC. We collected a multi-institutional cohort of 23 DDOC/UDOC and performed immunohistochemistry for core switch/sucrose nonfermentable (SWI/SNF) complex proteins (ARID1A, ARID1B, SMARCA4, and SMARCB1), mismatch repair (MMR) proteins, and p53. Array-based genome-wide DNA methylation and copy number variation analyses were performed on a subset of cases with comparison made to a previously reported cohort of undifferentiated endometrial carcinoma (UDEC), small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT), and tubo-ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). The age of all 23 patients with DDOC/UDOC ranged between 22 and 71 years (with an average age of 50 years), and a majority of them presented with extraovarian disease (16/23). Clinical follow-up was available for 19 patients. Except for 2 patients, the remaining 17 patients died from disease, with rapid disease progression resulting in mortality within a year in stage II-IV settings (median disease-specific survival of 3 months). Eighteen of 22 cases with interpretable immunohistochemistry results showed loss of expression of core SWI/SNF protein(s) that are expected to result in SWI/SNF complex inactivation as 10 exhibited coloss of ARID1A and ARID1B, 7 loss of SMARCA4, and 1 loss of SMARCB1. Six of 23 cases were MMR-deficient. Two of 20 cases exhibited mutation-type p53 immunoreactivity. Methylation profiles showed coclustering of DDOC/UDOC with UDEC, which collectively were distinct from SCCOHT and HGSC. However, DDOC/UDOC showed an intermediate degree of copy number variation, which was slightly greater, compared with SCCOHT but much less compared with HGSC. Overall, DDOC/UDOC, like its endometrial counterpart, is highly aggressive and is characterized by frequent inactivation of core SWI/SNF complex proteins and MMR deficiency. Its molecular profile overlaps with UDEC while being distinct from SCCOHT and HGSC.
