Co-existing Brenner tumor and struma ovarii in the unilateral ovary is very rare. The present case, which is the first case in Korea, and to our knowledge only nine cases had been reported in other countries. We report a case of 42-year-old woman who had co-existing Brenner tumor and struma ovarii in the unilateral ovary with a brief review of the literature.

Primary transitional cell carcinoma of ovary has been recently recognized as a separate subtype of epithelial cancer. It is unusual tumor and in which definite urothelial features are present, but no benign Brenner component is identified. These tumor are more aggressive and tend to present at a higher stage than malignant Brenner tumors, but they appear to respond better to chemotherapy than other type of ovarian epithelial cancer. We have experienced two cases of ptimary transitioaal cell carcinoma of ovary. So we report these cases with a brief review of literature.

Meigs' syndrome is defined by the presence of ascites and hydrothorax in association with an ovarian fibroma, which spontaneously resolve soon after the removal of the tumor. Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome is rare syndrome associated with struma ovarii, yolk sac tumor, ovarian carcinoma, leiomyoma, Brenner tumor and tuberculosis which is combined with the same clinical feature. The cause and pathophysiology of Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome are uncertain. The diagnosis is done by characteristic clinical finding. We present a case of Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome with Brenner tumor with brief review of the literatures.

Meigs' syndrome is defined by the presence of ascites and hydrothorax in association with an ovarian fibroma, which spontaneously resolve soon after the removal of the tumor. Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome refers to the same clinical features associated with other ovarian tumors; thecoma, granulosa cell tumor, Brenner tumor, struma ovarii, etc. Elevated serum CA 125 levels have a strong correlation with ovarian malignancy, but several benign ovarian tumors have been found to cause a rise in CA 125 levels. We present a case of Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome with an elevated CA 125 resulting from thecoma with a brief review of the literatures.

Herein, we present two cases of Brenner tumor, a rarely occurring neoplasm in the ovaries, obtained via intraoperative fine needle aspiration. The borderline Brenner tumor exhibited marked squamous metaplasia, characterized by individually distributed atypical squamous cells. A benign Brenner tumor associated with mucinous cystadenoma evidenced typical mucinous metaplastic features and transitional foci. These distinctive features may prove helpful in differential diagnosis of varied ovarian tumors, and particularly for intraoperative consultation.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the ovary is rare and usually arise from preexisting cystic teratomas, endometriosis or Brenner tumors which undergo carcinomatous degeneration in their epithelial elements. Some of squamous cell carcinoma of the ovary is known to be associated with cervical neoplasm, but the pathogenesis is still unknown. Recently we experienced one case of ovarian squamous cell carcinoma in patients with microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix. We report this case with possible pathogenesis and brief review of literatures.

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.

The Brenner tumors of the ovary are uncommon and constitute 1.5-2.5% of all ovarian neoplasms. And their malignant counterparts are rare. Although the first malignant Brenner tumor was described by Von Numers in 1945, only a few malignant Brenner tumors have been reported. The definition and its biologic behavior, and the optimal treatment has not been established. We present a patient who had total abdominal hysterectomy with unilateral salpingooophorectomy due to adenomyosis. The resected ovary had only follicular cysts and the remained ovary was grossly normal . Malignant Brenner tumor developed at the remained ovary 15 years after operation. Operation and adjuvant chemotherapy was applied and patient is alive without evidence of disease. We have experienced a case of malignant Brenner tumor developed at the remained ovary after contralateral oophorectomy with a brief review of literature.

Meigs' syndrome is defined as a hydrothorax with ascites and a pelvic tumor, both of which resolve on removal of the tumor. Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome is a variant not possessing the original tumor cell types described by Meigs. Both these syndromes should be considered in otherwise healthy women who present with either new or recurrent hydrothorax and ascites. Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome occurs with the clinical triad of (1)ascites, (2)pleural effusion and (3)Brenner tumors, struma ovarii, benign thecomas, extreme ovarian edema, uterine leiomyomas or other benign pelvic tumors. A case of Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome associated with Brenner tumor is presented with a brief review of literatures.
