Ovarian Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor: A Case Report of a Rare Devastating Cancer
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Desmoplastric small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare highly malignant tumor, which was first described, by Gerald and Rosai in 1989 with predominance in male adolescence. However, a case series review showed early age incidence in females with median age of 14 years old. Majority of DSRCT patients present late. Due to rarity of this disease entity, ovarian DSRCT is unlikely to be on the differential diagnosis for an ovarian mass. We report a rare devastating malignant disease in unusual site of a young adolescent girl, initially responded to few cycles of chemotherapy.
