contents Cellular origins of mucinous ovarian carcinoma Nicola S Meagher Martin Köbel Anthony N Karnezis Aline Talhouk Michael S Anglesio Andrew Berchuck Simon A Gayther Paul PD Pharoah Penelope M Webb Susan J Ramus Kylie L Gorringe The Journal of Pathology AbstractMucinous ovarian carcinoma (MOC) is a rare histotype of epithelial ovarian cancer. Its origins are obscure: while many mucinous tumours in the ovary are metastases from the gastrointestinal tract, MOC can occur as an ovarian primary; however, the cell of origin is not well established. In this review we summarise the pathological, epidemiological, and molecular evidence for the cellular origins of MOC. We propose a model for the origins of the various tumours of the ovary with mucinous differentiation. We distinguish Müllerian from gastrointestinal‐type mucinous differentiation. A small proportion of the latter arise from teratoma and a distinct terminology has been proposed. Other gastrointestinal mucinous tumours are associated with Brenner tumours and arise from their associated benign lesions, Walthard nests. The remaining mucinous tumours develop either through mucinous metaplasia in established Müllerian tumours or with even greater plasticity through gastrointestinal metaplasia of epithelial or mesothelial ovarian inclusions. This model remains to be validated and mechanistically understood and we discuss future research directions. © 2025 The Author(s).
