Abstract
BACKGROUND: Nongestational pure ovarian choriocarcinoma is a rare malignancy with only 29 cases described to date. CASE: We describe a case associated with mature cystic teratoma of the contralateral ovary. Details of all 30 cases including clinical features, associations, surgicopathological findings, operative procedures, postoperative chemotherapy, and outcome are summarized. CONCLUSION: This rare malignancy responds well to surgery and postoperative chemotherapy including the methotrexate-based regimes.
