Mixed Epithelial and Germ Cell Ovarian Cancer: A Case Report

Abstract

Background: Cases of malignant ovarian tumors consisting of Clear Cell Carcinoma (CCC) 
and Yolk Sac Tumor (YST) are decidedly rare. 
Case: We herein report the case of a 58-year-old woman with an ovarian tumor, of which ap
proximately 70 percent was composed of CCC and 30 percent YST. The plan was to utilize a 
chemotherapeutic regimen of 4 cycles of Bleomycin, Etoposide, Cisplatin (BEP) followed by 
4 cycles of Carboplatin/Paclitaxel. 
Conclusion: No previous cases with an identical combination of CCC and YST have been 
found in the literature. Because of its rarity, deciding on optimal therapy is challenging.
