TL;DR
It is concluded that, although similar in histologic appearance, endometrioid carcinomas of the ovary and endometrium have distinct gene expression patterns.
Abstract
We conclude that, although similar in histologic appearance, endometrioid carcinomas of the ovary and endometrium have distinct gene expression patterns. A larger test set is needed to prospectively evaluate this prediction model further.

The identification of frequent somatic PTEN mutations in endometrioid ovarian tumors indicates that it plays a significant role in the etiology of this subtype, and the absence of mutations in other histological subtypes is consistent with the hypothesis that epithelial ovarian cancers arise through distinct developmental pathways.
