PRIMARY TRANSITIONAL CELL CARCINOMA OF THE OVARY: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 39
Abstract
A 38-year-old female presented with a history of progressively enlarging abdominal mass. Abdominal computed tomography showed a pelvic mass involving both the ovaries and omentum. CA-125 was normal. Staging surgery was performed and the histopathological diagnosis of Transitional Cell Carcinoma was made and later confirmed by immuno-histochemistry. Transitional cell carcinoma of the ovary is a rare subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer. Surgical resection is the primary therapeutic approach, and patient’s outcomes after chemotherapy are better than for other types of ovarian cancers.
