Pure primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the ovary is extremely rare. SCC can also arise in a mature cystic teratoma or dermoid cyst, in an ovarian endometrioma or in a brenner's tumor, but such malignant transformations are also quite rare. Development of SCC in a mature cystic teratoma (MCT) has been reported sporadically in less than 2% cases only. Here in our present study, we are reporting such a rare case of 65 years old postmenopausal woman who was diagnosed as having squamous cell carcinoma developed in a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary at our institute. This diagnosis was given on the basis of clinical (patient's history and examination), radiological (CT scan) and pathological (histopathology report) findings. We are also going to discuss other similar cases with review of literature. The only aim of this present study is to share our experience of such rare diagnosis with others.

“…Patients who received optimal cytoreduction followed with adjuvant chemotherapy seem to have a good outcome with longer survival. [8,9] Optimal cytoreduction can bring a mean survival of 14 months while 7.8 months in suboptimal cases. [10] Kikkawa et al [6] reported a 79% 5-year-survival rate for patients without residual disease compared with 10.1% for those with residual disease.…”

“…On account of the activity of cisplatin in ovarian cancer and gynaecological squamous-cell carcinomas, chemotherapy with cisplatin and taxane became a common therapy in SCC, and have been extended progression-free interval in most patients. [3,8,11,12] Patients received adjuvant chemotherapy (mostly platinum-based) appeared to survive longer than those who had surgery only. [4,13] Several studies suggested that chemotherapy with BEP can be used in ovarian SCC.…”

Background: Malignant transformation such as ovarian squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in ovarian mature cystic teratoma (OMCT) is a rare tumor. The gene mutation of ovarian SCC remains unclear. We herein report a recurrent case of ovarian squamous cell carcinoma with MET gene copy number variation. Case presentation: A 60-year-old woman presented with recurrence of ovarian SCC 8 months after primary surgery. Adhesiolysis, right abdominal wall mass excision, prosthetics, enterectomy, enterostomy and partial cystectomy were performed by laparoscope. Pathologic examination demonstrated metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in ileocecus, rectum and abdominal wall muscle. MET gene copy number was elevated with copy number of six in this case. Postoperatively, the patient was treated with four cycles of combination chemotherapy with docetaxel and carboplatin. The patient was free of disease at 20 months’ follow-up. Conclusions: Optimal cytoreductive surgery combined with platinum-based chemotherapy is recommended currently for not only primary tumor but also recurrence. For patients with malignant transformation in OMCT, prompt diagnosis and individualized treatment are crucial for better prognosis. Increased copy number of MET may be correlated with her poor PFS and can be a potential therapeutic target for this case.

“…Ovarian germ-cell tumors account for $ 20% of all ovarian neoplasms, and for 2% of all ovarian malignancies. [1][2][3] Mature cystic teratomas (MCTs) are the most common ovarian germcell tumors, accounting for $ 70% of benign ovarian tumors in women under 30 years of age, [4][5][6] and they are composed of totipotent cells developing into well-differentiated ectodermal, endodermal, and mesodermal tissue. 7 Ectodermal derivatives, which include keratinizing epidermis, sebaceous and sweat glands, hair follicles and neuroectodermal tissues, are often the most prominent.…”

Although mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is benign, malignant transformation (MT) occurs in ∼ 1% to 2% of all cases, and usually consists of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), which accounts for ∼ 80% of the cases. Spindle-cell (sarcomatoid) carcinoma (SCSC) is an uncommon type of SCC, comprising up to 3% of all cases. The lack of characteristic symptoms and specific imaging findings may lead to preoperative misdiagnosis. Moreover, the clinicopathologic characteristics, the treatment, the prognostic factors and the mechanism of MT have not yet been well understood due to the rarity of such tumors, especially in women of reproductive age. The authors present a case of a 34-year-old patient with 14 weeks of gestation who was diagnosed with an adnexal mass suggestive of ovarian teratoma. A laparoscopy salpingo-oophorectomy was performed after 6 months of delivery, and the histological exam revealed a sarcomatoid SCC in the MCT.
