case_images: Pathologic examination of the gross specimen (Figure 2) revealed intraparenchymal splenic lesions.
case_images: Representative section of ovary stained with hematoxylin and eosin (100x) demonstrating irregular nests of large anaplastic cells with an ill-defined cribriform architecture infiltrating the ovary. No residual normal ovarian tissue is shown.

case_images: Representative sections from the ovary (Figure 3) and spleen (Figure 4) are shown here. The tumor at both sites showed a similar morphology of a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma consisting of irregular nests of large anaplastic polygonal cells with an ill-defined cribriform pattern (Figure 3, inset).
case_images: Representative section of spleen stained with hematoxylin and eosin (20x) demonstrating morphology similar to that seen in the ovary. Normal residual spleen is seen on the right.
