Small cell carcinoma of ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) is an unusual malignant tumor that most commonly affects young women. Unfortunately, it has a very poor prognosis. We describe here an unusual case of a Moroccan young woman with a left ovarian mass and a symptomatic hypercalcemia. Morphologically, there are some malignant tumors that resemble SCCOHT; thus, it is very challenging to diagnose, and immunohistochemistry has a great contribution in it. Hopefully, molecular tools and new therapies will improve the management of these cases in the near future.
