“…There have been no reports of recurrences to the thoracic spine. Only three cases of metastasis that involved the nervous system and spine have been reported ( Baizabal-Carvallo et al, 2010 , Zhang et al, 2019 ). Baizabal-Carvallo et al reported a 56-year-old woman with a 6-month history of intracranial hypertension.…”

Patient: Female, 39-year-old Final Diagnosis: Ovarian carcinoma Symptoms: Abdominal pain • abdominal mass • abdominal tenderness Clinical Procedure: Adjuvant chemotherapy • laparotomy Specialty: Obstetrics and Gynecology • Oncology Objective: Rare disease Background: Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death in women with gynecological cancers. Ovarian Brenner tumor (BT) is an extremely rare type of epithelial ovarian cancer that accounts for about 1–3% of all ovarian cancers. Herein, we report a rare case of ruptured malignant ovarian Brenner tumor. Case Report: A 39-year-old P0A0 woman came to the Emergency Department (ED) with abdominal pain and tenderness. Perforated appendicitis was initially suspected and an emergency laparotomy was performed by the General Surgery Department. Then, a 25×20×15 cm grayish cystic mass originating from the right adnexa was found. We consulted intraoperatively with the Gynecology Oncology Department and decided to perform complete surgical staging. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of malignant Brenner tumor (MBT). The patient was then given adjuvant chemotherapy with a paclitaxel carboplatin regimen. In this case report, we present our case along with a review of the current literature regarding the diagnosis and therapy of malignant Brenner tumor. Conclusions: Ovarian MBT is an extremely rare ovarian cancer. Diagnosing MBT can be challenging as there are no clinical, laboratory, or imaging features typical for it. Surgery is the mainstay treatment in MBT cases. The role of adjuvant chemotherapy in MBT is still being debated.

“…5 The recurrence rate has been reported to be as low as 28% with cases of extra-uterine disease to the dura, lung, peritoneum, omentum, skin, and bone. [5][6][7][8][9][10] The mean time to recurrence is 11 months. 2 Given the limited number of reported cases, and thus the inability to study the efficacy of chemotherapy in a large clinical trial, there is currently no standardized chemotherapy regimen for treatment of malignant Brenner tumour.…”

Ovarian Brenner tumor (BT) is a rare epithelial ovarian cancer that accounts for less than 2% of ovarian neoplasms. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies Brenner tumors into three categories: benign, borderline and malignant. Malignant Brenner tumors (MBT) of the ovary are 3-5% of Brenner tumors. They carry a poor prognosis. They generally affect women during the perimenopausal and postmenopausal periods and presents with mass per abdomen. A case of 55 years old Female with complaints of post-menopausal bleeding since 3-4 months and pain abdomen since 2 days. Patient attained menopause 20 years ago. Clinically patient appeared stable. On per abdomen hypogastric fullness +, dull note heard over the region. On per speculum examination altered minimal bleeding +, on bimanual examination, mass 10×6 cm in hypogastric region felt separately from fundus of uterus. Serum markers were: beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (b-hCG) – 0.26, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) – 1.92, CA 125 – 84.18 and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) <0.010. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed right ovarian malignant tumour 10.6×14.2×16 cm. Patient was operated and frozen section was sent which confirmed Brenner tumour. Histopathological reporting- malignant Brenner tumour- right ovary. Left ovary and omentum were unremarkable. Ascitic fluid showed malignant cells. Patient was discharged and referred to oncologists. Incidence of malignant Brenner tumour is <2% which makes it uncommon, histopathologically consists of transitional epithelium. We report a case of ovarian malignant Brenner tumour, detailing the clinical presentation, diagnosis, pathologic review, imaging findings, and management.
