Fig. 1

Representative images of mucinous carcinoma (MC) with infiltrative invasion and MC with expansile invasion. A MC with infiltrative invasion was characterized by obvious evidence of destructive stromal invasion. (x40) (B) Stromal invasion consisted of malignant glands, cell nests, and a desmoplastic stromal reaction (x200). C MC with expansile invasion was marked glandular crowding, creating a labyrinthine appearance with little intervening normal ovarian stroma (x40). D Back to back malignant glands were seen in MC with expansile invasion (x200). E HGSC was characterized by solid, papillary, labyrinthine with slit-like spaces, glandular, or cribriform architecture (x40). F Large and markedly atypical nuclei, with high mitotic activity including atypical mitoses, were seen (x200)
