Abstract

Malignant transformations, such as ovarian squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in ovarian mature cystic teratoma (OMCT), are rare tumors. The management of recurrent disease is still a challenge, and the gene mutations involved remain unclear. We herein report a recurrent case of ovarian SCC with a PIK3CA gene variation and immunohistochemical staining of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) >10%. This patient achieved clinical remission after platinum-based effective chemotherapy and programmed death 1 (PD-1) immunotherapy.
