Pelvic masses can represent various etiologies, including gynecologic and non-gynecologic conditions. As discussed in this paper, among all pathologies, intraabdominal dissemination of an extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (ESMC) presenting as a pelvic mass is a rare condition. The case is a 58-year-old woman with a history of soft tissue sarcoma who presented to the gynecologic oncology department with a pelvic mass and was operated on with the suspicion of mucinous ovarian cancer. She underwent complete cytoreductive surgery, and her final pathology was reported as ESMC. Due to several numbers of metastases shown in positron emission tomography-computed tomography, she had chemotherapy and then operated on for tumorectomy from the right leg. ESMC is a rare, aggressive soft tissue neoplasm that rarely has metastasis to the abdomen. This unique case presents a late recurrence of the disease to the pelvis, which can mimic mucinous ovarian cancer.

Mucinous ovarian carcinoma (MOC) is a rare subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer, comprising less than 5% of all cases, and distinguished by its unique molecular, histologic, and clinical features. Its rarity and marked differences from other ovarian cancer subtypes have led to significant controversies regarding its diagnosis, surgical strategies, and systemic therapies. Accurate differentiation between primary and metastatic MOCs remains a critical challenge because of their overlapping features with gastrointestinal cancers, often leading to misclassification.

Objectives: The German quality assurance program (QS-Ovar) representatively documents treatment and survival for patients with the initial diagnosis of primary ovarian cancer in the third quarters of 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2021. We evaluate lymphadenectomy (LNE) rates in dependence on histologic subtype and outcome for early ovarian cancer FIGO I.

Methods: Therapy quality was defined according to national guidelines.
