This theoretically represents microinvasion which is variably defined by different authors (<3 or 5 mm or 10mm<sup>2</sup>). However, recent evidence suggests that the two patterns of invasion have vastly different prognosis. The AEC (abundant eosinophilic cells) are [[p16]] positive and reflect a terminally differentiated senescent phenotype. If invasion is exclusively composed of this cell type, then these do not portend a poor prognosis.<ref name=pmid24441661>{{Cite journal | last1 = Maniar | first1 = KP. | last2 = Wang | first2 = Y. | last3 = Visvanathan | first3 = K. | last4 = Shih | first4 = IeM. | last5 = Kurman | first5 = RJ. | title = Evaluation of microinvasion and lymph node involvement in ovarian serous borderline/atypical proliferative serous tumors: a morphologic and immunohistochemical analysis of 37 cases. | journal = Am J Surg Pathol | volume = 38 | issue = 6 | pages = 743-55 | month = Jun | year = 2014 | doi = 10.1097/PAS.0000000000000155 | PMID = 24441661 }}</ref> These cells are significantly more often seen in BRAF mutated tumors, and are perhaps associated with a better prognosis.<ref name=pmid25188864>{{Cite journal | last1 = Zeppernick | first1 = F. | last2 = Ardighieri | first2 = L. | last3 = Hannibal | first3 = CG. | last4 = Vang | first4 = R. | last5 = Junge | first5 = J. | last6 = Kjaer | first6 = SK. | last7 = Zhang | first7 = R. | last8 = Kurman | first8 = RJ. | last9 = Shih | first9 = IeM. | title = BRAF mutation is associated with a specific cell type with features suggestive of senescence in ovarian serous borderline (atypical proliferative) tumors. | journal = Am J Surg Pathol | volume = 38 | issue = 12 | pages = 1603-11 | month = Dec | year = 2014 | doi = 10.1097/PAS.0000000000000313 | PMID = 25188864 }}</ref> | ||
