Malignant transformation of mature cystic teratoma (MCTO) is a rare entity. Even rarer is the transformation of MCTO into undifferentiated carcinoma. We report a case of an 80-year-old woman with undifferentiated carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma component originating from mature cystic teratoma of the ovary.

Introduction: Malignant transformation in mature cystic teratoma of ovary is a rare complication. Case report: A 62-year-old woman was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in a mature cystic teratoma of ovary. Conclusion: Malignant transformation should be suspected in elderly woman with large mature cystic teratoma of ovary with thickened wall.

Malignant transformation of benign cystic teratoma of ovary is rare and the mostcommon malignancy encountered is squamous cell carcinoma. The diagnosis is rarelymade preoperatively and the prognosis is usually poor. Here we report a case ofsquamous cell carcinoma arising in a dermoid in a 44 years old lady who presentedwith bilateral dermoid cysts. The preoperative findings, surgical approach andadjuvant therapy are discussed.Key Words: Malignant transformation, benign cystic teratoma, squamous cell carcinoma.

Introduction. Malignant transformation is a rare complication of mature cystic teratoma, with squamous cell carcinoma as the most common malignancy (in 75% of cases). In this article we present a case of a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma arising in a mature cystic teratoma and discuss the morphological and clinico-pathological features of malignant transformation in teratoma. Case Report. An 80-year-old woman with symptoms of acute abdomen underwent left salpingo-oophorectomy. Gross examination showed a cystic mass measuring 20 cm in diameter, with papillary formation on its internal surface. Histology revealed a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma arising in mature cystic teratoma. Squamous epithelium surrounding the tumor was dysplastic. Conclusion. Squamous cell carcinoma in mature cystic teratoma is a rare pathologic event and in most cases it is an accidental pathohistological finding.

ABSTRACT Mature cystic teratoma or dermoid cyst constitutes about 10 to 20% of all ovarian tumors in the reproductive age group. Malignant transformation is seen in these tumors in about 1 to 2%. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) constitutes about 75 to 85% of malignant transformation. Imaging characters and serum tumor markers are two important modalities to differentiate benign and malignant lesions. We are presenting a rare case of SCC arising from mature teratoma. The aim of this presentation is to stress on the significance of preoperative risk assessment of SCC in mature cystic teratoma in postmenopausal age group for optimal treatment.
