Abstract

Low-grade serous carcinomas are a less common subtype of serous epithelial ovarian cancer. They differ from high-grade serous tumors in their immuno-histochemical profile, epidemiologic features, clinical behavior and molecular characteristics. This case report describes the clinical history of a young woman who underwent multiple surgical and medical treatments.
