It is unusual tumor and in which definite urothelial features are present, but no benign Brenner component is identified. These tumor are more aggressive and tend to present at a higher stage than malignant Brenner tumors, but they appear to respond better to chemotherapy than other type of ovarian epithelial cancer. We have experienced two cases of ptimary transitioaal cell carcinoma of ovary. So we report these cases with a brief review of literature.
