Abstract
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the ovary is rare. It is considered to be associated with benign cystic teratoma, Brenner tumor and ovarian endometriosis which undergo malignant degeneration in their epithelial layers. Although ovarian metastasis from advanced cervical cancer is well known, however, ovarian metastasis from microinvasive cervical cancer is extremely rare. Because there are few reports about squmaous cell carcinom of the ovary, the pathogenesis is still not well known. Recently we experienced a case of squamous cell carcinoma in ovary presenting 109 months after surgical therapy of a microinvasive cervical cancer. We report this case with a brief review of literature and possible pathogenesis.
