“…When feasible, surgery is the same as for epithelial ovarian carcinoma with the aim of optimal cytoreductive surgery which means with no residual disease including hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy but, because this tumor is rapidly progressing with diagnosis at FIGO stages III or IV, the most frequent scheme is biopsy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgical resection and adjuvant therapy. Therapeutic approaches differ in the literature [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Six patients had surgery (radical in only 2 cases) and then received adjuvant chemotherapy in various ways.…”

“…Spread beyond the capsule can produce peritoneal seeding and symptoms such as pain, ascitis and signs of peritoneal irritation, such cases being prognostically poor. Several authors stress prognostic importance of intact capsule stating good prognosis if confined to the cyst 6 . The diagnosis is frequently made unexpectedly in operating room or after final pathological examination, as in the present case.…”

Ovarian squamous cell carcinoma is a rare malignancy and the occurrence is attributable to malignant transformation of an existing ovarian dermoid cyst. The de novo occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma of the ovary, in the absence of an antecedent ovarian dermoid, is extremely rare. A 40- years- old female presented with pain and enlargement of abdomen since last 4 months. A mass was felt over right iliac fossa. Ultrasonography showed partly cystic and solid area in mass arising from ovary. A tooth- like structure was also seen. Dermoid cyst was the diagnosis offered. Laparotomy was performed. Ovarian mass with hair, a tooth and putty-like material was present. Solid white area with thickened wall was found. Histopathology confirmed the findings of dermoid cyst and the thickened area showed squamous cell carcinoma with areas showing keratinous and giant cell reaction which was also seen at the periphery of tumor areas. Left ovary was normal and no deposits of tumor were seen. Postoperative period was uneventful.

“…More commonly, the cases of osteosarcoma can be found as components of malignant ovarian teratomas. The absence of other teratoid elements and the transition of spindle cells to osteoid suggest a primary mesenchymal origin (1,7,8) . The clinical and pathologic characteristics of the 11 reported cases with ovarian osteosarcoma are shown in Table 1.…”

“…In this study, we report a case that did not respond to chemotherapy and review related available literature using the Medline search. The case reported in this study is compared with the 11 previously reported cases of five patients with pure or primary ovarian osteosarcoma (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6) , five patients with osteosarcoma associated with an ovarian teratoma (5,(7)(8)(9)(10) , and one patient in whom the osteosarcoma was a component of a malignant mixed mesodermal tumor of the ovary (2) .…”

Primary osteosarcoma is one of the rare tumors affecting ovaries. This case is being reported for its rarity, along with a review of the literature. In this study, the patient, a 43-year-old woman, presented with an abdominopelvic mass. Exploratory laparotomy was performed, which revealed an extensive left ovarian mass infiltrating the uterus, small bowel, and urinary bladder. Subtotal hysterectomy and small bowel resection followed by end-to-end anastomosis and bilateral salpingo-ophorectomy were performed. Histopathology showed primary osteosarcoma of the ovary. Eighteen days after surgery, she started presenting with progressive abdominal distention and ultimately developed subacute intestinal obstruction. She was started on carboplatin and epirubicin combination but failed to respond and died of fast progressive disease. It is concluded that primary osteosarcoma of the ovary is a rare disease with poor prognosis.
