The squamous cell carcinoma of ovary is very rare in the ovarian malignancy. The majority of squamous cell carcinomas of ovary are considered to be associated with mature cystic teratoma, Brenner tumor and malignant degenerated endometriosis. Therefore, pure ovarian squamous cell carcinoma is extremely rare. The pathogenesis, prognosis and proper treatment guideline of this malignancy are still unknown, because of it's rarity. Recently we experienced a case of primary squamous cell carcinoma without previously commented disease condition.
