CTNNB1 p.L31P mutation in an ovarian endometrioid carcinoma with synchronous uterine endometrioid carcinoma
We performed next generation sequencing of DNA extracted from the neoplastic tissues obtained from a patient who underwent surgery for a large right ovarian carcinoma (OC) of endometrioid type associated with endometrial cancer (EC). This was done in order to ascertain whether the tumors were synchronous endometrial/ovarian cancers or an advanced metastatic stage from either the ovary or the uterus. Pathologic criteria favoured synchronous EC/OC.
