Recognition of such tumors is important because of its rarity, favorable response to chemotherapy and an improved patient survival. Treatment comprised multimodality approach using surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Surgery remains the mainstay of the treatment of this variant of EOC. Postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy improved local control in patients with adverse prognostic factors. Adjuvant radiotherapy improves outcome in patients with adverse factors.
