Abstract
|
|
|
|
The Brenner tumors of the ovary are uncommon and constitute 1.5-2.5% of all ovarian neoplasms. And their malignant counterparts are rare. Although the first malignant Brenner tumor was described by Von Numers in 1945, only a few malignant Brenner tumors have been reported. The definition and its biologic behavior, and the optimal treatment has not been established. We present a patient who had total abdominal hysterectomy with unilateral salpingooophorectomy due to adenomyosis. The resected ovary had only follicular cysts and the remained ovary was grossly normal. Malignant Brenner tumor developed at the remained ovary 15 years after operation. Operation and adjuvant chemotherapy was applied and patient is alive without evidence of disease. We have experienced a case of malignant Brenner tumor developed at the remained ovary after contralateral oophorectomy with a brief review of literature.
