Ovarian small cell carcinoma is a rare tumor associated with poor prognosis. Although combination chemotherapy remains the cornerstone of treatment due to the rarity of these tumors, there is no evidencebased consensus for a standard treatment, although in the majority of cases platinum-based regimens are used. A case of small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic-type (SCCOHT), in a 22 year-old patient is reported.

Ovarian small cell carcinoma is a rare and highly malignant neoplasm carrying a poor prognosis. Although combination chemotherapy remains the cornerstone of treatment due to the rarity of these tumors, no regimen can be recommended as standard of care although in the majority of cases platinum-based regimens are used. Herein, we report two cases of small cell carcinoma of the ovaries along with a review of the relevant literature.

Abstract We describe an extremely rare occurrence of a squamous differentiation in a sarcomatoid chromophobe renal cell carcinoma in a 45-year-old woman with nodal and lung metastasis at presentation. The tumor on histology showed all 3 components intimately admixed with each other, which to the best of our knowledge is the first such case to be reported in the literature. The renal pelvis was smooth walled and uninvolved. Kidney-specific cadherin was positive in the chromophobe renal cell carcinoma areas and negative in the sarcomatoid and squamous areas.
