Case presentation A 69-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with a 2-year history of progressive enlargement of an abdominal mass. Abdominal computed tomography showed a pelvic mass. CA-125 was normal. A staging operation with total abdominal hysterectomy bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy infracolic omentectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection was performed.

She is regularly followed up and has been disease free for 10 months Conclusion Transitional cell carcinoma TCC of the ovary is a rare subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer. Surgical resection is the primary therapeutic approach and patient outcomes after chemotherapy are better than for other types of ovarian cancers.
