Small cell carcinoma of ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) is an unusual malignant tumor that most commonly affects young women. Unfortunately, it has a very poor prognosis. We describe here an unusual case of a Moroccan young woman with a left ovarian mass and a symptomatic hypercalcemia. Morphologically, there are some malignant tumors that resemble SCCOHT; thus, it is very challenging to diagnose, and immunohistochemistry has a great contribution in it. Hopefully, molecular tools and new therapies will improve the management of these cases in the near future.
卵巢小细胞癌,高钙血症型(SCCOHT)是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,最常影响年轻女性。不幸的是,其预后非常差。我们在此描述一例不寻常的病例,一名摩洛哥年轻女性患有左侧卵巢肿块并伴有症状性高钙血症。在形态学上,有一些恶性肿瘤类似于SCCOHT;因此,诊断极具挑战性,免疫组织化学在其中有很大作用。有望在不久的将来,分子工具和新疗法能改善这些病例的治疗。
