Pure ovarian neuroendocrine tumors are very rare. Herein, we present a young Iranian woman with a pure primary ovarian neuroendocrine tumor. A 26-year-old female presented with chronic abdominal pain and progressive constipation and was referred to the emergency room. Imaging findings confirmed a mass in the right adnexa. Following the resectional surgery of the ovarian mass, histopathological and immunohistochemistry results disclosed a mixed type of primary ovarian neuroendocrine tumor. The patient did not experience tumor recurrence afterward. Due to the rarity and low prevalence of primary pure ovarian neuroendocrine tumors, the histopathologic diagnosis should be confirmed by an immunohistochemistry study.
纯原发性卵巢神经内分泌肿瘤非常罕见。在此,我们报告一位患有纯原发性卵巢神经内分泌肿瘤的年轻伊朗女性。一名26岁女性因慢性腹痛和进行性便秘就诊于急诊室。影像学检查发现右侧附件有一肿块。在对卵巢肿块进行切除手术后,组织病理学和免疫组化结果显示为混合型原发性卵巢神经内分泌肿瘤。该患者术后未出现肿瘤复发。由于原发性纯卵巢神经内分泌肿瘤罕见且发病率低,组织病理学诊断应通过免疫组化研究来证实。
