Overview

NCI Definition: A slow-growing serous adenocarcinoma that arises from the ovary. It usually originates from borderline neoplastic processes or adenofibromas. It is characterized by the presence of low grade cytologic features and infrequent mitotic figures. [1]

Low grade ovarian serous adenocarcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in KRAS, BRAF, NRAS, CDKN2A, and KMT2D [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Low Grade Ovarian Serous Adenocarcinoma

KRAS Mutation, KRAS Exon 2 Mutation, KRAS Codon 12 Missense, KRAS G12V, and KRAS G12D are the most common alterations in low grade ovarian serous adenocarcinoma [2].
