title: [Recurrent theca cell tumor].
abstract: Thecomas are considered to be benign ovarian tumours. Whether there are malignant thecomas, is a subject of controversy in literature. This contribution describes a case of recurrent thecoma with a clinically malignant course and histological signs of malignant dedifferentiation. The particular diagnostic and therapeutic consequences of this rare disease are discussed with emphasis on the need for radical surgical intervention.
