    Author: Fishman A, Edelstein E, Altaras M, Beyth Y, Bernheim J.
    Journal: Gynecol Oncol; 1998 Sep; 70(3):418-20. PubMed ID: 9790798.
    Abstract:
    Malignant transformation of benign cystic teratoma of the ovary is rare, with an incidence of 1.8%. The commonest malignant neoplasm to develop is squamous carcinoma (80%). Adenocarcinoma occurs with less frequency, and only one of which has ever been cited to be of gastrointestinal origin. A 38-year-old female underwent TAH-BSO due to a large right ovarian tumor. Microscopically and immunohistochemically, the tumor was defined as mucinous adenocarcinoma originating from gastrointestinal epithelium in benign cystic teratoma.
