Abstract EN
Mature cystic teratoma of the ovary rarely undergoes malignant transformation.
There is no consensus for a treatment modality because of the rarity of the disease.
Herein we present a case of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising in a mature cystic teratoma (MCT) in a 66-year-old patient.
The patient underwent total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, appendectomy, and bilateral pelvic + paraaortic lymph node dissection.
The histopathological examination revealed malignant invasion of the appendix and uterus.
The patient, who refused the continuation of treatment initiated with the administration of a single dose of cisplatin, died 5 months later because of the disease.
It is imperative that gynecologists consider appendectomy in SCC arising from MCT cases.
