Abstract

Primary ovarian squamous cell carcinoma is a rare entity that usually arises from the malignant transformation of a mature cystic teratoma, endometriosis or Brenner’s tumor. The denovo occurrence of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the ovary without prior lesion is a rare entity accounting for less than 1%. However, ovarian squamous cell carcinoma arising from an epidermoid cyst is an infrequent entity and only one case has been reported in literature. The prognosis of such cases is quite poor and there are no definite guidelines for treatment. Here we present a case of a 50-year-old female diagnosed with primary ovarian squamous cell carcinoma arising from an epidermoid cyst of the ovary who was treated with surgery followed by chemotherapy along with the review of literature.
