Mesonephric-like adenocarcinomas (MLA) of the ovary are rare, require differentiation from other histiotypes.
True histiogenesis of MLA of ovary remains debated, possibly arise from mullerian lesions of the ovary.
MLA of ovary have differing genotypes from true mesonephric carcinomas of the cervix.
Case described reflects further evidence for mullerian origin of MLA of ovary, with endometriosis in affected ovary.
MLA of ovary can act aggressively, case described recurred and responded only partially to chemotherapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
