A Rare Presentation of Dual Ovarian Pathologies: Small Cell Carcinoma of the Ovary and Mucinous Ovarian Cancer
The small cell carcinoma of ovaries co-occurring with mucinous ovarian cancer is a rare event. We report a 21-years-old lady with a composite tumour comprising small cell carcinoma and mucinous carcinoma of ovaries. The incidental finding of the left ovarian cyst led to further workup and revealed a...

description | The small cell carcinoma of ovaries co-occurring with mucinous ovarian cancer is a rare event. We report a 21-years-old lady with a composite tumour comprising small cell carcinoma and mucinous carcinoma of ovaries. The incidental finding of the left ovarian cyst led to further workup and revealed a solid cystic mass in the left adnexal area pathologically proven to be mucinous ovarian carcinoma. The initial surgery was deferred upon the patient's request. After a few more cycles of chemotherapy, at the completion of surgery as per ovarian protocol, the pathological evaluation showed small cell carcinoma in the left ovary with a residual focus of mucinous carcinoma. In contrast, the right ovary also showed surface deposits of small cell carcinoma. The patient's clinical condition deteriorated very rapidly after that, and she passed away. Early recognition of small cell carcinoma in a composite tumour is critically essential for timely intervention. |
