Title : Ovarian cancer with an atypical BRCA2 mutation –case report

Abstract : A 47-year-old woman was admitted to the gynaecological clinic with a severe abdominal and lower abdominal pain and a significant enlargement of this area. Ultrasonography (USG) performed during examination showed with a smooth-walled fluid space of mixed hypoechogenicity measuring 12.65cm x 12.72cm in the right ovary. Computed tomography (CT) confirmed the presence of a pathological lesion. Tumour was surgically removed and histopathological examination diagnosed lesion as the adenocarcinoma of intermediate differentiation grade. A genetic analysis detected a previously unclassified variant of the BRCA2 gene alteration in the exon 18, which could be associated with the hereditary breast cancer or OC. Because of the non-specific symptoms and the risk of early metastasis, systematic follow-up is recommended.
