  • Histological Tumour Type (Required)
    Histological tumour type (Required) Reason/Evidentiary Support All ovarian epithelial malignancies and borderline tumours should be typed according to the WHO classification.1 There are 5 major subtypes of primary ovarian carcinoma, high‐grade serous, clear cell, endometrioid, mucinous and low‐ grade serous.2‐5 There are also other uncommon minor subtypes, those listed by the WHO including malignant Brenner tumour, seromucinous carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma.1 Carcinosarcoma is a mixed epithelial and mesenchymal malignancy but is included in the category of epithelial malignancies in this dataset since most are of epithelial origin and histogenesis.6 Although management of ovarian carcinoma is, at present, largely dependent on tumour stage and grade, accurate typing will almost certainly become more important in the future with the introduction of targeted therapies and specific treatments for different tumour types. This is in part because, although clinically often considered as one disease, there is an increasing realisation that the different morphological subtypes of ovarian carcinoma have a different pathogenesis, are associated with distinct molecular alterations and have a different natural history, response to traditional chemotherapy and prognosis.2‐5 Tumour typing may also be important in identifying or initiating testing for an underlying genetic predisposition; for example, high‐grade serous carcinoma may be associated with underlying BRCA1/2 mutation while endometrioid and clear cell carcinomas can occur in patients with Lynch syndrome.7 The most common ovarian carcinoma is high‐grade serous carcinoma (approximately 70%) followed by clear cell and endometrioid.8,9 Mucinous and low‐grade serous are less common. Approximately 90% of advanced stage ovarian carcinomas (stage III/IV) are high‐grade serous in type.8,9 Most primary tubal carcinomas are high‐grade serous or endometrioid and most primary peritoneal carcinomas are of high‐grade serous type.

She has been having irregular cycles of bleeding for 5 days every 2-3 months from the age of 54. On evaluation, she was found to have endometrial hyperplasia and ultrasonography showed a homogenous solid ovarian mass of size of the 4 cm x 3.5 cm. She underwent staging laparotomy with total abdominal hysterectomy bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and infra colic omentectomy. Histopathology confirmed granulosa cell tumour of the ovary. Most commonly granulosa cell tumour presented with post–menopausal bleeding and abnormal uterine bleeding, however, women with delayed menopause also have to be evaluated thoroughly for estrogen secreting ovarian tumours. There should be an element of suspicion if patient doesn’t attain menopause as specified and they need to be evaluated in detail.

  • SNOMED CT Codes for Gynaecological Neoplasms
    SNOMED CT codes for gynaecological neoplasms Authors: Brian Rous1 and Naveena Singh2 1Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust and 2Barts Health NHS Trusts Background (summarised from NHS Digital): • SNOMED CT is a structured clinical vocabulary for use in an electronic health record. It forms an integral part of the electronic care record, and serves to represent care information in a clear, consistent, and comprehensive manner. • The move to a single terminology, SNOMED CT, for the direct management of care of an individual, across all care settings in England, is recommended by the National Information Board (NIB), in “Personalised Health and Care 2020: A Framework for Action”. • SNOMED CT is owned, managed and licensed by SNOMED International. NHS Digital is the UK Member's National Release Centre for the creation of, and delegated authority to licence the SNOMED CT Edition and derivatives. • The benefits of using SNOMED CT in electronic care records are that it: • enables sharing of vital information consistently within and across health and care settings • allows comprehensive coverage and greater depth of details and content for all clinical specialities and professionals • includes diagnosis and procedures, symptoms, family history, allergies, assessment tools, observations, devices • supports clinical decision making • facilitates analysis to support clinical audit and research • reduces risk of misinterpretations of the record in different care settings • Implementation plans for England: • SNOMED CT must be implemented across primary care and deployed to GP practices in a phased approach from April 2018. • Secondary care, acute care, mental health, community systems, dentistry and other systems used in direct patient care must use SNOMED CT as the clinical terminology, before 1 April 2020.
