Carcinoma Of The Ovary

Introduction.The small cell carcinoma of hypercalcemic type of ovary is a very aggressive tumor. It is associated with two-thirds of cases with hypercalcemia most often asymptomatic. It occurs mostly for young women. The treatment combines surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.Case Presentation.We report a case of small cell carcinoma of the ovary hypercalcemic type in a young Tunisian woman aged 25 years after a severe abdominal pain syndrome and a large ovarian mass discovered in scanner; a laparotomy was performed by radical surgery. The pathological examination of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis. The radiological assessment performed after surgery showed a continuing evolution. Palliative chemotherapy was established, and the patient had died two months after diagnosis.Conclusion.The hypercalcemic small cell carcinoma of the ovary is a rare disease of poor prognosis.

Carcinoma Of The Ovary

The small cell carcinoma of the ovary is a rare tumor with the very modest prognosis. It usually occurs in young women and in two-thirds of cases is associated with hypercalcemia. The treatment combines surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Case Presentation. We report a case of small cell carcinoma of the ovary hypercalcemic type in a young Russian woman of 33 years in whom the first manifestations were abdominal pain syndrome. A laparotomy was performed by radical surgery. There were performed 4 courses of chemotherapy, and then conventionally radical operation was executed. Histologically, the diagnosis was confirmed. There was performed palliative chemotherapy, the patient’s death occurred within 10 months after making of the diagnosis. Conclusion. Hypercalcemic type of ovarian cancer is a rare, aggressive tumor with a poor prognosis.

Carcinoma Of The Ovary

We present a rare case of malignant rhabdoid tumor (ovarian small cell carcinoma of hypercalcemic type) in a 24-year-old female with fulminant course. Clinically, hypercalcemia was not found at the time of primary diagnosis. However, it appeared later during the course of tumor progression. Histologically, the tumor showed classical features of small cell carcinoma of hypercalcemic type. Therapy included radical surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy. Despite this intensive therapy, the disease recurred and the patient died 10 months after the diagnosis. We discuss the diagnosis and therapy of this tumor, as well as its recent classification as malignant rhabdoid tumor.
