Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical and Advance Research - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Malignant Brenner tumors (MBTs) of the ovary are very rare, and their definition, biology and treatment modality have not been established. Most Brenner tumors are benign, with only 1% being malignant. In this study we present a case of 30 years old women with a rare malignant Brenner tumour. She presented at a peripheral referral hospital with a complaint of abdominal pain and mass. Ultrasonography revealed left sided ovarian tumours. She is referred for evaluation of a complex pelvic mass and elevated serum CA-125 level. She underwent left salpingo-oophorectomy and the specimen was sent for histopathological study. Histopathology revealed malignant Brenner tumour. Immunohistochemistry tumour cells are positive for pancytokeratin and negative for CK7/CK8/WT1/Pax8/CA125/calretinin/inhibin.
