Brenner tumour is a relatively uncommon epithelial ovarian neoplasm accounting for 1.4–2.5% of ovarian tumours. Malignant variants are rare (<5%). A 65-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with abdominal pain, distension, weight loss and postmenopausal bleeding. RMI was 1098. MRI suggested malignant epithelial ovarian tumour. Staging laparotomy was performed. Histopathology confirmed malignant Brenner tumour (FIGO IA) with mucinous cystadenoma. Malignant Brenner tumour is rare and requires histopathological confirmation. Early-stage disease has favourable prognosis.
