  • Title: Ovarian serous papillary cystadenocarcinoma stage IIIC in a 19-year-old.

    Abstract:
    In mature women, the most common histological cell type of ovarian cancer is of epithelial origin. In children and adolescents, germ cell tumors are the most frequent. We report a case of a serous papillary cystadenocarcinoma FIGO stage IIIC in a 19-year-old female. She presented with a 6-month history of vague lower abdominal pain. Preoperative CA-125 was elevated at 296 kU/liter. At laparotomy, she was found to have stage IIIC disease. A debulking procedure including total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and lymph node sampling was performed. The immediate postoperative course was complicated by fulminant disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. She was subsequently treated with six courses of cyclophosphamide and carboplatin. Twenty-four months after surgery, the patient has no evidence of disease despite an increased CA-125 of 51 kU/liter.
