Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy. The surface epithelial tumor is the most common type of ovarian cancer. Among these, the mucinous tumors account for 10-15% of ovarian tumors. Mucinous ovarian tumors are among the most difficult ovarian neoplasms for surgical pathologists to interpret. Mucinous tumors sometimes coexist with other surface epithelial tumors. Therefore, making the accurate diagnosis of the mucinous tumors is essential. On the other hand, association of Brenner tumors with other neoplasms is rare. Ovarian Brenner tumor has always been discussed by pathologists as an enigmatic tumor, because of its rarity and disputed histogenesis. Here, we reported a case of large mucinous cystadenoma with Brenner component.

Ovarian tumors are common forms of neoplasia in women
We are reporting a case of coexistence of mucinous cystadenoma with Brenner tumors to make the pathologists and gynecologists aware about the occurrence of such combined ovarian tumors
There was a huge mass arising from the right ovary with a high possibility of mucinous cystadenoma
Summary
Ovarian tumors are common forms of neoplasia in women. Ovarian cancer is the seventh most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the world (about 30% of female genital cancers). Transitional cell tumors of the ovary (an uncommon subtype of the surface epithelial tumor) are rare neoplasms and account for about 2% of all ovarian tumors [4]. About 20% of these tumors occur together with mucinous or serous cystadenomas or benign teratomas [5]. We are reporting a case of coexistence of mucinous cystadenoma with Brenner tumors to make the pathologists and gynecologists aware about the occurrence of such combined ovarian tumors. Ultrasound examination showed a solid cystic mass (104×115 mm) with multiple thick septa and internal echo in mid pelvis suggestive of an ovarian complex cyst.
