In general, ovarian carcinoid tumors are slow growing, and have a good prognosis, but some cases of metastasis or recurrence have been reported. Therefore, these borderline tumors require careful evaluation [jstage.jst.go.jp]

Etiology WS2 is genetically very heterogeneous and still much of the etiology of WS2 remains elusive. Mutations have been found in MITF (3p14-p13; subtype designated as WS2A), SNAI2 (8q11.21; WS2D), and SOX10 (22q13.1; WS2E) genes. [orpha.net]
