Abstract
A case of mucin-producing adenocarcinoma arising from a mature cystic teratoma of the right ovary is reported in a 67-year-old multiparous Japanese woman. The patient underwent total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and adjuvant chemotherapy containing cisplatin, Adriamycin, and cyclophosphamide with the diagnosis of ovarian cancer, probable stage Ic. Treatment was successful even though the tumor extended through the cyst wall.
