Roh, Lee, and Kim: Squamous Cell Carcinoma Arising in Benign Cystic Teratoma of the Ovary; Report of Two Cases

Abstract

Two cases of squamous cell carcinoma arising in benign cystic teratoma of the ovary are reported because of the rarity of this condition. No similar cases have been recorded yet in Korean literature. Furthermore, two different co-existing malignant tumors were encountered in one of these cases; a squamous cell carcinoma arising in a benign cystic teratoma of the right ovary and a serous cystadenocarcinoma of the opposite ovary. The latter metastasized to the right ovary. Important points in diagnosis and management of this complication in the operating room are briefly discussed.
