INTRODUCTION: Psammoma bodies (PBs) are rarely encountered in Papanicolaou tests. They have been described in benign and malignant conditions of the gynecologic tract and peritoneum. The aim of our study was to reveal the associated factors with PBs in Papanicolaou tests to predict an underlying malignancy, particularly in the absence of atypical glandular cells (AGCs).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 1987 to 2018, all gynecologic cytology reports with PBs were identified from the computerized pathology database of Baystate Medical Center, Springfield, Massachusetts. Patients with previous history of gynecologic and/or peritoneal malignancy were excluded. Clinical information and follow-up data were obtained from chart review.
RESULTS: PBs were found in 10 of the 1,497,540 Papanicolaou tests (0.0006%). Six patients with age ranging from 19 to 58 years (mean age, 37.6 years) had benign outcome (eg, endometritis, ovarian serous cystadenofibroma). Four patients with age ranging from 31 to 54 years (mean age, 41.7 years) had borderline/malignant outcome (eg, ovarian borderline serous tumor, peritoneal serous psammocarcinoma). All patients with borderline/malignant outcome had family history of cancer and/or gene mutation (eg, sister with breast cancer, father with BRCA-1 mutation). PBs were accompanied by AGCs in 2 of 4 borderline/malignant cases.
CONCLUSIONS: PBs should not be ignored in Papanicolaou tests because of their possible association with an underlying malignancy. To our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating that relevant family history of cancer and/or gene mutation may be a helpful clue regarding an underlying malignancy, especially in the absence of accompanied AGCs with PBs.
