Abstract. Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the ovary is a rare recently recognized subtype of ovarian epithelial cancer. Ovarian TCC has a modest response to chemotherapy, and metastatic TCC from the renal pelvis results in mortality. The clinical presentation is indistinguishable from other types of ovarian carcinoma. Histopathological examination remains the first tool used in the diagnosis of these heterogeneous tumors and in the separation of closely related tumors. Since it is generally accepted that surgical resection is the primary therapeutic approach, and patient outcomes following chemotherapy are better than for other types of ovarian cancers, it is a reasonable concept to detect tumors when they are still confined within the ovaries. Thus, the aim of this review was to describe typical cases of primary TCC, and to review the medical literature for information on TCC management in order to determine appropriate diagnostic methods and therapy.

“…On the other hand, this treatment did not prevent the development of ovarian lesions. Valappil et al also described the use of interleukin-2 to treat abdominal recurrence of renal pathology, leading to improved survival with stable disease, as in our case, but not preventing development of ovarian metastasis either [14].…”

Metastasis to the ovaries from transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and renal pelvis: a report of two cases

et al. 2010

Ovarian metastases from a primary urinary tract carcinoma are extremely rare. This can be difficult to distinguish from transitional cell carcinomas (TCC) of ovarian origin because of histologic similarity. A 65-year-old woman who was diagnosed with renal pelvis TCC 4 months prior was referred for evaluation of a left ovarian mass. A 47-year-old woman who underwent radical cystectomy due to bladder TCC 1 year ago was referred because of a right ovarian mass. Both patients underwent a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The tumor cells had morphology identical to those of the primary urinary tract tumors. Gynecologic oncologists should consider metastatic TCC of the ovary from urinary tract origin, as well as breast, and gastrointestinal tract origins.
