Abstract
Primary small cell carcinoma of the ovary is an extremely rare and highly malignant ovarian malignancy. The tissue origin of this type of cancer is still unclear, and it is characterized by rapid progression and a discouraging prognosis. The clinical presentation of small cell carcinoma of the ovary lacks specificity, and there are currently no effective treatment options available. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the understanding and identification of this disease. In this paper, we present a case of composite small cell carcinoma of the ovary with mucinous adenocarcinoma and provide a comprehensive review of the relevant literature.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Imaging and Diagnosis is dedicated to the publication of results from clinical and research studies applied to cancer diagnosis and treatment. The section aims to publish studies from the entire field of cancer imaging: results from routine use of clinical imaging in both radiology and nuclear medicine, results from clinical trials, experimental molecular imaging in humans and small animals, research on new contrast agents in CT, MRI, ultrasound, publication of new technical applications and processing algorithms to improve the standardization of quantitative imaging and image guided interventions for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
