Abstract

Pure primary squamous cell carcinoma of the ovary, not associated with pre-existing ovarian lesions like dermoid cyst, Brenner tumours, or endometriosis is extremely rare. A 28 year old nulliparous female presented with acute pain in left lower abdomen and weight loss. Ultrasonography showed a mass arising from left ovary. An ovarian mass adhered to lateral pelvic wall was found on laprotomy. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of left ovary with no co-existing ovarian dermoid. Postoperatively patient died within 8 weeks despite adjuvant chemotherapy.
