Objective: To report the case of ovarian clear cell carcinoma with involvement of both ovaries and metastatic to ascitic fluid and the label mass in the bladderMethod: Case Report  Case: A 51 years old female presented with enlarging abdominal with gradual pain. The result of transabdominal sonography were multiple cysts with solid mass, suspected solid cystic ovarian neoplasm and ascites. The patient prepared for laparotomy; optimal debulking surgery, mass resection from bladder. Cytology examination was performed from ascitic fluid and it was confirmed by histopathology examination.Result: Microscopic features on cytology examination of ascitic fluid smear was suggest carcinoma. Histological examination was confirmed the diagnosis and the result was ovarian clear cell carcinoma. Discussion: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma is a rare subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer and comprises about 5-10% of ovarian carcinomas. Clear cell carcinoma tends to occur in the fifth to seventh decades. Cytology examination showed the cellular smear consists of groups of epithelial cells with large nucleus, hyperchromatic, pale-staining, vacuolated cytoplasm. There is also eosinophilic, extracellular substance. The presence of a tumor in ascitic fluid and the label mass in the bladder can categorize become IIB. This determined based on the FIGO’s ovarian tumor staging system.Keywords: ovarian clear cell carcinoma; ascitic fluid.

Abstract Background Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is the second subtype of ovarian epithelial carcinoma reported to be closely related to Lynch syndrome (LS). ARID1A mutation is an important pathogenetic mechanism in OCCC that leads to loss of ARID1A expression in approximately half of OCCCs. However, the correlation of MMR status and ARID1A deficiency is unclear. The current study aimed to identify the clinical and histopathological characteristics of OCCC associated with dMMR and to further explore the association between dMMR and ARID1A deficiency. Methods A cohort of 176 primary OCCC patients was enrolled and review included histological characteristics (nuclear atypia, necrosis, mitosis, stromal hyalinization, and background precursors) and host inflammatory response (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, peritumoral lymphocytes, intratumoral stromal inflammation and plasma cell infiltration). Immunohistochemical staining of MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, MSH6 and ARID1A was performed using tissue microarrays. Results dMMR was detected in 10/176 tumors (6 %), followed by MSH2/MSH6 (6/176), MLH1/PMS2 (3/176), and MSH6 (1/176). The average age of patients with dMMR was younger than that of patients with intact MMR (46 y vs. 53 y). Tumors with diffuse intratumoral stromal inflammation remained significantly associated after multivariate analysis. ARID1A expression was absent in 8 patients with dMMR (8/10), which is a significantly higher frequency than that observed in patients with intact MMR (80 % vs. 43.2 %). Conclusions Our study indicates that diffuse intratumoral stromal inflammation of OCCCs is associated with dMMR, with loss of MSH2/MSH6 expression being most frequent. dMMR is strongly associated with the loss of ARID1A expression in OCCC.
