Abstract

Borderline clear cell tumours of the ovary are exceedingly rare, with limited cases documented in literature. We present a case of a woman with primary infertility who presented with abnormal uterine bleeding and a history of bilateral endometriotic cysts. Abdominal examination revealed a mass of 17×12 cm. CT imaging showed a heterogeneous solid-cystic mass measuring 16.6×10.8 cm in the right adnexa with elevated cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) levels (761.9 IU/mL). Staging laparotomy was performed due to high suspicion of malignancy. Intraoperatively, a right ovarian mass of 18×14 cm size, with intact capsule, and a 3×3 cm left ovarian endometriotic cyst were found. Microscopically, the mass showed a multiloculated cyst wall lined by cuboidal epithelium, without significant nuclear atypia or stromal invasion, and was positive for Napsin A. The overall features were suggestive of clear cell borderline tumour. Postoperative CA-125 level was normalised and the patient was placed under regular follow-up.

卵巢透明细胞交界性肿瘤:罕见的肿瘤。
卵巢交界性透明细胞瘤极为罕见,文献记载的病例有限。我们提出一个病例的妇女原发性不孕症谁提出了异常子宫出血和历史的双边子宫内膜异位囊肿。腹部检查示17×12 cm肿块。CT示右附件一不均匀实囊性肿块,尺寸为16.6×10.8 cm,癌抗原125 (CA-125)水平升高(761.9 IU/mL)。由于高度怀疑恶性肿瘤,我们进行了分期剖腹手术。术中发现右侧卵巢肿块18×14 cm大小,包膜完整,左侧卵巢子宫内膜异位囊肿3×3 cm。镜下,肿块呈多室囊肿壁,内衬立方上皮,无明显的核异型性或间质浸润,Napsin a阳性,总体特征提示透明细胞交界性肿瘤。术后CA-125水平恢复正常,患者接受定期随访。
