Abstract
- Malignant transformation of mature cystic teratoma is rare and difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Therefore, in the suspected case considering the age, tumor size and imaging findings, it is important to diagnose intraoperatively through a frozen section biopsy. It is clear that aggressive optimal surgical resection should be done in the squamous cell carcinoma arising from mature cystic teratoma. However it is controversy what postoperative adjuvant therapy is optimal in the locally advanced case because of its rarity. We report a case of a 59-year-old woman in the menopause with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma arising from left ovarian mature cystic teratoma treated with optimal cytoreductive surgery followed by concurrent chemoradiation.
