Answers and Explanations
1. Correct choice: B
FIBROSARCOMA—This is the most frequent of ovarian sarcomas. Leiomyosarcoma and endometrioid stromal sarcoma account for the majority of the remainder, while all other types are very rare. Morphologically, ovarian sarcomas have morphologic features that are indistinguishable from analogous tumors occurring in other locations. Fibrosarcomas lie at the malignant end of a spectrum of stromal neoplasms including fibroma, cellular fibroma, and mitotically active cellular fibroma. Ovarian fibrosarcomas usually present as large, fleshy tumors with significant nuclear atypia and high mitotic rate. Fibrosarcomas are negative for inhibin and CD10.
