Abstract
A 60-year female with ovarian carcinoma showed marked leucocytosis. Af ter exploratory laparotomy she had received carboplatin-based chemothe rapy, but she died of respiratory failure. In this case the immunohist ochemical examination of the tumor cells showed partial-positive stain ing for anti-G-CSF monoclonal antibody in addition to the elevation of the serum G-CSF concentration. This case is the first report of an ov arian carcinoma producing G-CSF.
