Squamous Cell Carcinoma Arising in a Mature Cystic Teratoma

Abstract EN

Introduction.

Malignant transformation in a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary is a rare complication.

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common transformation.

We describe a new case of squamous cell carcinoma arising in a mature cystic teratoma.

Case Report.

A premenopausal 52-year-old female patient is diagnosed with vaginal bleeding.

According to examination made on the women and the pelvic scanning, 7 cm mass is found on the right adnexa of the patient.

Total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, pelvic lymph node dissection, and debulking were the treatments completed on the patient.

According to histopathological diagnosis, squamous cell carcinoma arising in a mature cystic teratoma is diagnosed as a reason for the mass in the right adnexa of the patient.

Conclusion.

The prognosis of the malign transformation of MCT depends on surgery stage; however it is extremely poor.

The patient should receive chemotherapy regardless of stage.

We have decided to administer second cycle carboplatin and paclitaxel treatments on the patient.
