Abstract

Malignant Brenner tumour is a rare pathological entity. Apart from identification of typical benign, metaplastic and/or proliferating components, stromal invasion must be observed for diagnosis of Brenner tumour. A case of malignant Brenner tumour is described along with a brief review of strict criteria of diagnosis and its biological behaviour.

Borderline Brenner tumor of the ovary: MRI findings.

Ovarian Brenner tumor is an uncommon epithelial tumor that accounts for 1.5% to 2.5% of all ovarian neoplasms. These tumors are usually benign. Whereas the magnetic resonance imaging features of benign Brenner tumors have been described, reports of malignant findings are limited. We report a case of borderline malignant Brenner tumor that imaged as a cystic lesion with papillary projections and solid elements.

Primary ovarian small cell carcinoma of the pulmonary type: a case report and review of the literature.

Small cell carcinoma of the ovary is a rare type of ovarian carcinoma with a poor prognosis. Two types should be distinguished: the hypercalcemic type and the pulmonary type. We report the case history of a 54-year-old woman with both a Stage IIIC small cell carcinoma, pulmonary type and a well-differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the left ovary in combination with a Brenner tumor in the right ovary. A review of the literature on small cell carcinoma of the ovary is given and the findings of our patient are brought into perspective in terms of both histopathogenesis and treatment outcome.
