Ovarian Serous Cystadenocarcinoma in a Young Woman: a Rare Occurrence

Abstract

Serous cystadenocarcinoma (SC) is the most common ovarian carcinoma usually affecting elderly females. Exact incidence of SC in females younger than 25 years is not known due to rarity and little available literature. We report a rare occurrence of ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma in a young nulliparous lady of 22 years age emphasizing the fact that though unusual, possibility of SC should be kept in mind in younger age group owing to its low grade morphology, early stage at the time of diagnosis and excellent prognosis.
