“…Various types of clear cells have been previously described in the so-called mesonephroma of the ovary. 16,18,20,25,29 I n this series, the different clear cells defined in Material and Methods were present in all 3 groups of neoplasms studied. Typical hobnail-type cells, however, predominated in the "pure clear cell group."…”

A clinicopathologic analysis of 39 primary ovarian carcinomas wholly or partially composed of clear cells was carried out. The histologic concept of “clear cell” was redefined and the ratio of clear to nonclear cell components was evaluated in each case. The tumors were accordingly subdivided into “pure” (12 cases), “predominantly” (7 cases), and “focal” (20 cases) clear‐cell groups. The pathologic and clinical features of each group were then compared to each other. Follow‐up data were also compared with 45 patients with ovarian endometrioid carcinoma. Because of the frequent admixture and transitions of clear‐cell tumors with nonclear‐cell neoplasms of müllerian derivation, it was concluded that the clear‐cell tumors of the ovaries are most likely of müllerian rather than mesonephric origin. Cumulative survival figures in the various groups of clear‐cell carcinoma and in patients with endometrioid carcinoma were similar with a mean 5‐year survival of about 38%. The single most significant feature determining survival in all these patients was the extent of the neoplasm at time of surgery.

“…Examination of Teilum's cases, however, shows that the tumours did not constitute a homogeneous group since adenomatoid tumours and clear cell adenocarcinomas were included. Wade-Evans and Langley (1961), reviewing the literature up to 1960, were unable to trace an account of a tumour of the epididymis similar to the eight mesonephric tumours they described in the ovary, or indeed any whose origin could be unequivocally traced to the vasa efferentia. They considered the most revealing feature of the group to be their tubular structure since this recalls both the structure of the vasa efferentia and of tumours arising in mesonephric vestiges.…”

“…It was impossible to say whether these cells scattered throughout the stroma represented invasion. A more likely hypothesis, suggested by Wade-Evans and Langley (1961), is that at these sites there is a transformation of 'stromal' to 'epithelial' cells.…”

“…Their possible origins from the mesonephric apparatus were explained and he termed them 'mesonephromas'. Since then, several accounts of these tumours have appeared together with hypotheses about their histogenesis (Jones and Seegar, 1940;Teilum, 1954;Novak, Woodruff and Novak, 1954;Novak and Woodruff, 1959;Parker, Dockerty, and Randall, 1960;Suprun and Soferman, 1960;Welch and Hellwig, 1960;Wade-Evans and Langley, 1961;Lee, Dockerty, Wilson, and Symmonds, 1962;Horowitz, 1964;Villa Santa, 1964;Fawcett, Dockerty, and Hunt, 1966;Scully and Barlow, 1967;Ross and Shelley, 1968;Saavedra and Sandow, 1968). These reports show that both the histological criteria and the hypotheses about their histogenesis have changed.…”

Thirty cases of mesonephroid tumour of the ovary were studied. The differential diagnosis is discussed and it is concluded that mesonephroid tumours form a distinct entity. An attempt is made to correlate the histological appearance of the tumours with the clinical course and criteria are suggested which might be a guide to prognosis. Views on histogenesis are discussed but at present there seems insufficient evidence to justify any particular hypothesis.
