Abstract

Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type is a rare ovarian tumor. This tumor has three distinctive clinical features: i) an occurrence in young women, ii) the presence of hypercalcemia in 62% of cases, and iii) a high degree of malignancy. The radiologic findings of the tumors are usually large and a predominantly solid mass with internal necrosis, hemorrhage and cystic degeneration. We report on the CT and MRI findings of an ovarian small cell carcinoma, hypercalcemic type in a 17-year-old female who presented 1 month abdominal discomfort with weight loss.

난소의 원발성 소세포암은 매우 드문 난소 종양으로 주로 젊은 여성에서 발생하며 약 62%에서 고칼슘혈증을 동반하는 악성 종양이다. 영상검사에서 일반적으로 고형성 종양 내부에 부분적 낭성 변화 및 괴사를 동반하는 형태로 관찰된다. 저자들은 복통, 체중감소를 주소로 내원한 17세 여성에서 고칼슘 형태의 난소 소세포암 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
