Ovarian metastases from endocervical adenocarcinomas (EAs) are rare but well-described. Silva Pattern A tumors have been reported to pose essentially no risk of lymph node metastases or recurrence. We describe a cohort of patients with Silva Pattern A EAs with ovarian metastases, as well as involvement of other sites. Eight pattern A EAs with ovarian metastases (4 synchronous, 4 metachronous) were identified from our institution's pathologic archives (2008-2021). Clinicopathologic and molecular features for each case were recorded. All patients were treated by hysterectomy; in each case, the entire tumor was submitted for histologic evaluation. The synchronous metastases were all clinically suspected to be ovarian primary tumors; EAs with metachronous ovarian involvement were confined to the uterus at initial diagnosis, with ovarian metastasis occurring 5 to 171 months after hysterectomy. Morphologically, all tumors were predominantly gland-forming, 5/8 (63%) displayed prominent mucinous differentiation, and 5/8 (63%) involved the corpus. All EAs were either noninvasive (exophytic/papillary/more complex than adenocarcinoma in situ) or showed nondestructive cervical stromal invasion to a depth of 5 mm or less. In the 5 tumors tested by next-generation sequencing, ARID1A, GNAS, and KRAS mutations were detected in 2 (40%), 3 (60%), and 4 (80%) cases, respectively. All 6 patients with follow-up (range, 32 to 181 mo; median, 99.5 mo) had at least 1 recurrence. All but one are without evident disease at last clinical assessment. In an otherwise typical Silva Pattern A EA, corpus involvement, mucinous differentiation, and certain gene mutations may be associated with risk for synchronous or metachronous ovarian metastases.
