Small cell carcinoma of the ovary is a rare but lethal neoplasm occurring in the young. In two-thirds of the cases the tumor produces paraendocrine hypercalcemia. The tumor, despite the name, is composed of a dimorphic population of small and large cells, the histogenesis of which is still a controversial matter. Except for a single illustration, no detailed study of this rare entity appears to have been performed previously. The composite cytologic features as seen on touch imprints are presented in this case report, with ultrastructural and immunohistochemical correlations.
卵巢小细胞癌是一种发生于年轻女性的罕见但致命的肿瘤。三分之二的病例中，肿瘤会导致副内分泌性高钙血症。尽管名为小细胞癌，但该肿瘤由大小两种细胞组成的双相细胞群构成，其组织发生仍是一个有争议的问题。除了一张单独的图片外，此前似乎尚未对这个罕见实体进行过详细研究。本病例报告展示了触摸印片上所见的复合细胞学特征，并伴有超微结构和免疫组化相关性分析。
