Abstract
We report a case of a postmenopausal woman presenting with lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. She went through a maximal debulking surgery and the pathological biopsy revealed hepatoid carcinoma of the ovary (HCO). Immunohistochemical assay demonstrates SALL4 as an indicator to differentiate HCO from Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
