Small Cell Carcinoma of the Ovary, Hypercalcemic Type: Clinical and Imaging Review.

Small Cell Carcinoma of the Ovary, Hypercalcemic Type (SCCOHT) is a rare, aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. Its features are difficult to differentiate from other ovarian malignancies. In this article, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of this rare malignancy including tumor genetics. We also describe demographic, clinical and imaging findings, staging, and treatment options.
