Introduction And Importance: Primary ovarian germ cell tumors (OGCTs) account for 5 % of malignant pelvic neoplasms, predominantly affecting young females and often presenting as medical emergencies. Among OGCTs, malignant mixed germ cell tumors constitute approximately 8 % of cases and are characterized by their aggressive nature. Early and appropriate management of these rare tumors is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.

Their diagnosis is complicated by their solid nature and potential association with ascites and pleural effusion, resembling Meigs syndrome. Elevated serum CA125 levels can further complicate differentiation from malignant ovarian epithelial tumours.

Introduction And Importance: Cornual pregnancy, an infrequently reported form of ectopic pregnancy occurring in the uterine horn, is inadequately documented in medical literature, with an incidence below 2 %. This condition poses a substantial risk to maternal health due to delayed diagnosis and the potential for life-threatening bleeding after rupture.

Case Presentation: We present a case report following the SCARE guidelines that details a 32-year-old woman with abdominal pain and abnormal uterine bleeding.
