Abstract

The development of cancer in a pre-existing benign cystic teratoma of the ovary with distant metastasis to the supraclavicular lymph nodes has not been previously reported. We experienced a case of a 28-year-old woman with distant metastasis from small cell cacinoma arising in benign mature cystic teratoma of the ovary to the supraclavicular lymph nodes. The staging laparotomy and total abdominal hysterectomy with both salpingooophorectomy were peformed. There was no metastatic site except the supraclavicular lymph nodes, thereafter adjuvant chemotherapies with bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin have been doing. We report a case of benign cystic teratoma with malignant change and metastasis with the literature.
