ABSTRACT
Malignant transformation of a mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is an uncommon complication. The most common form of malignant transformation of a MCT is squamous cell carcinoma, representing 75% of malignant transformations. The frequency of malignant transformation of MCT to adenocarcinoma is just 6.8%. To the best of our knowledge, no case of para-aortic lymph node metastasis in mucinous adenocarcinoma arising from MCT has been reported before. The prognosis of malignant transformation of the MCT is very poor. Here, we report an unusual case of a 41-year-old woman with mucinous adenocarcinoma arising from MCT with para-aortic lymph node metastasis.
