Abstract
Brenner tumors of ovary are relatively uncommon neoplasm. Most of them are benign and less than 5% are proliferating or borderline. The association between Brenner tumor of the ovary and papillary urothelial carcinoma of bladder is extremely rare.
We describe an unusual case of proliferating bilateral Brenner tumor of the ovary with a highly recurrent low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma of bladder.
The immunohistopathological similarities of ovarian and bladder tumors and their association in the current case, may be coincidental but may reflect a common initiating event inducing similar pathogenesis changes in the epithelium of both organs. More cases are needed to be reported to better understand this association.
