Abstract
Malignant transformation of benign cystic teratoma of the ovary is rar e, with an incidence of 1.8%. The commonest malignant neoplasm to deve lop is squamous carcinoma (80%). Adenocarcinoma occurs with less frequ ency, and only one of which has ever been cited to be of gastrointesti nal origin. A 38-year-old female underwent TAH-BSO due to a large righ t ovarian tumor. Microscopically and immunohistochemically, the tumor was defined as mucinous adenocarcinoma originating from gastrointestin al epithelium in benign cystic teratoma. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
