          Abstract

          We present the case of a 73-year-old woman who was incidentally found to have a malignant Brenner tumor (MBT) of the ovary during an evaluation for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The patient presented with swelling in her left leg, non-healing ulcers, weakness, and numbness in her lower limbs. Imaging studies revealed a large multiloculated cystic mass with areas of calcification in the left adnexa extending to the upper abdomen toward the gallbladder fossa. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with removal of the ovarian cyst, later diagnosed as a focal MBT in a background of borderline Brenner tumor. Brenner tumors of the ovary are a rare subtype of ovarian neoplasm that accounts for less than 2% of all ovarian tumors. MBTs are even rarer, comprising less than 5% of all Brenner tumors. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an MBT incidentally found in a patient with DVT.

          Malignant Brenner tumors of the ovary; a population-based analysis

          Malignant Brenner Tumor (MBT) is a tumor with an extremely low incidence that morphologically resembles to urothelium. Given the paucity of evidence on the epidemiology and prognosis of MBT, the aim of this retrospective population-based study was to elucidate the demographic and clinico-pathological characteristics of patients with ovarian MBT.

              Malignant Brenner tumor: Two case reports

              Malignant Brenner tumor (MBT) is a rare ovarian tumor that, given the infrequency of the disease, has not been well documented in the literature. Diagnosing MBT both radiographically and histologically remains a challenge. We report two cases of ovarian MBT, detailing the clinical presentation, radiographic characteristics, and histologic findings with supplementary imaging. Our cases demonstrate the pathologic challenge of histologically diagnosing MBT versus other Brenner tumors and transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the ovary.
