Abstract
Although mature ovarian teratoma (MOT) is one of the most commonly detected benign tumours worldwide, its malignant transformation is rare. This article presents a case of a 47-year-old woman, operated on for emergency reasons due to a giant painful ovarian tumour, showing preoperatively no signs of malignancy. Surprisingly, a pathological report showed MOT coexisting with an early-stage ovarian adenocarcinoma developing as an endophytic papilloma. Interestingly, a previously unclassified mutation variant in exon 18 of BRCA2 (NM_000059.3):c. 8167 G>A (p.Asp2723Asn) was detected in ovarian adenocarcinoma. A brief literature review has been presented discussing the clinicopathological features of MOT being associated with malignant transformation into an early-stage ovarian adenocarcinoma.
期刊介绍：
Pathology, Research and Practice provides accessible coverage of the most recent developments across the entire field of pathology: Reviews focus on recent progress in pathology, while Comments look at interesting current problems and at hypotheses for future developments in pathology. Original Papers present novel findings on all aspects of general, anatomic and molecular pathology. Rapid Communications inform readers on preliminary findings that may be relevant for further studies and need to be communicated quickly. Teaching Cases look at new aspects or special diagnostic problems of diseases and at case reports relevant for the pathologist''s practice.
