A 64-year-old woman with no particular history presented
with chronic pelvic pain since November 2021. The ultrasound performed showed
multiple right ovarian cystic ranging from 0.4 to 4 cm on the long axis. She
underwent a right salpingo-oophorectomy in May 2022. The anatomical pathology
result is in favor of a papillary carcinoma developed on stroma ovarii. No
adjuvant treatment was necessary since the tumor was well limited, without
capsular rupture, stage IA. The thyroid test was normal. The patient is
currently being monitored. There is no sign of recurrence 20 months after
surgery.
