| Abstract: | Next-generation sequencing (NGS) studies have demonstrated that co-occurring sporadic endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC) and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (EOC) are clonally related, suggesting that they originate from a single primary tumor. Despite clonality, synchronous EEC and EOC when diagnosed at early stage behave indolently, similar to isolated primary EEC or isolated primary EOC. In the present study, we compared the DNA methylation signatures of co-occurring EEC and EOC with those of isolated primary EEC and isolated primary EOC. We also performed targeted NGS to assess the clonal relatedness of 7 co-occurring EEC and EOC (4 synchronous EEC and EOC and 3 metastatic EEC based on pathologic criteria). NGS confirmed a clonal relationship in all co-occurring EEC and EOC. DNA methylation profiling showed distinct epigenetic signatures of isolated primary EEC and isolated primary EOC. Endometrial tumors from co-occurring EEC and EOC clustered with isolated primary EEC while their ovarian counterparts clustered with isolated primary EOC. Three co-occurring EEC and EOC cases with peritoneal lesions showed a closer epigenetic signature and copy number variation profile between the peritoneal lesion and EOC than EEC. In conclusion, synchronous sporadic EEC and EOC are clonally related but demonstrate a shift in DNA methylation signatures between ovarian and endometrial tumors as well as epigenetic overlap between ovarian and peritoneal tumors. Our results suggest that tumor microenvironment in the ovary may play a role in epigenetic modulation of metastatic EEC.(c) 2023 United States & Canadian Academy of Pathology.
