Ovarian tumors are common neoplasia in women. Ovarian carcinoma accounts for the 7th cause of mortality and morbidity in females. Surface epithelial tumors are the most common type of ovarian tumor. Mucinous tumors comprise 20% to 25% of the ovarian neoplasms. Brenner tumor of the ovary consist of 1-2% of all ovarian neoplasms and is usually benign. About 30% of Brenner tumors coexist with an ovarian mucinous neoplasm, a well-recognized combination that has been rarely reported. Accurate diagnosis and exclusion of malignancy are essential in large ovarian tumors, especially in tumors with solid components. We describe a case of an incidentally diagnosed Brenner tumor in a sizeable mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary to inform the clinicians about the co-occurrence of such a tumor so they remain vigilant in ruling out malignancy for better management as well as prognostication.
