| Summary: | Co-existence of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma with mature cystic teratoma in the same ovary is very rare. We report a case in a 48-
year-old female who presented with left abdominal mass. CT scan revealed a heterogeneous enhancing left ovarian mass lesion. Clinical
diagnosis of complex ovarian cyst was made, later underwent laparotomy and histologically diagnosed as mucinous cystadenocarcinoma
(grade 2) co-existing with benign cystic teratoma, stage Ia (FIGO) of the left ovary. Six months after surgery, the patient is doing
well without any recurrence or metastasis. Hence, histopathological examination plays a significant role in accurate diagnosis and
management of the patient. So, we should be aware of these rare co-existent tumours and meticulous dissection should be done to
look for any synchronous tumours or malignant areas; since management and prognosis will vary significantly depending upon the
microscopic type and stage. |
