ABSTRACT
We report a 54-year old female who had mild dyspnea, coughing, abdominal distension, tightening and thickening of the skin, and Raynaud's phenomenon. Clinical manifestations, laboratory and radiologic examinations were compatible with systemic sclerosis. She was also diagnosed to have ovarian cancer on histopathologic study. The possible causative relation between systemic sclerosis and malignant neoplasms is a controversial issue, but several studies have demonstrated an increased frequency of cancer in patients with systemic sclerosis, especially lung and breast cancers. Ovarian cancer was rarely reported in association with systemic sclerosis. We present this case with a review of literatures.
