The germ cell-derived tumors account for 20-25% of ovarian tumors, with 3% being malignant. The degeneration occurs in 1-2% of cases. The age of presentation is menopause, around the age 50, and the most common malignant histological types in this context are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. It is important to determine the clinical-pathological characteristics of malignant transformation (although currently not well established), as because early detection and complete surgical resection are important for long-term survival. A case is presented on a peri-menopausal woman with histopathological findings of malignant transformation of a mature cystic teratoma to well-differentiated mucinous cystadenocarcinoma endocervical and intestinal type.
