Abstract:
Transitional cell carcinoma of the ovary is extremely rare tumor and the category of transitional cell carcinoma has been proposed for those tumors in which definite urothelial features are present but no benign, metaplastic, and/or proliferating Brenner tumor is identified. We report a case of primary transitonal cell carcinoma of the ovary in 48-year old woman who presented with low abdominal pain and dyspepsia. Brief literature was reviewed about the features of its behavioral aggressiveness and characteristic chemosensitivity.
