Serous papillary cystadenocarcinoma arising from autografted ovary of the abdominal wall

Int J Surg Pathol. 2010 Oct;18(5):398-400. doi: 10.1177/1066896908325875. Epub 2009 Jan 14.

Abstract

A 58-year-old-woman developed a serous papillary cystadenocarcinoma between the fascia and peritoneum of the left abdominal wall. The patient had undergone bilateral oophorectomy for serous cystadenoma 17 years earlier and her residual normal ovarian parenchyma had also been transplanted to the abdominal wall. Grossly and microscopically, the current tumor arises from the autografted ovarian parenchyma. Literature review indicates that carcinoma arising from autografted ovarian tissue is extremely rare.
