Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the ovary is a recently recognized, subtype of ovarian surface epithelial cancer; the pure form accounting for only 1% of surface epithelial tumors. It has been described as a primary ovarian carcinoma with definite urothelial features but no benign, metaplastic and/or proliferating Brenner tumor (BT) identified. Recognition of such tumours is important because of its rarity, favorable response to chemotherapy and an improved patient survival. A case series of primary TCC of the ovary (3 cases) with brief review of literature is being presented.
