Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) is a rare form of aggressive ovarian malignancy linked with mutations in the SMARCA4 gene. This disease predominantly affects young women within the first five decades of life and is associated with poor overall long-term survival, particularly when diagnosed in the advanced stage of the disease. Due to the low incidence of the condition and limited literature, current clinical decision-making is based on a small number of case series and case reports. We present an extremely rare case of SCCOHT diagnosed in a young female during her third trimester of pregnancy, requiring preterm delivery via cesarean section with simultaneous unilateral oophorectomy and salpingectomy.
