title: HPV induced ovarian squamous cell carcinoma: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Ovarian squamous cell carcinoma is usually derived from a teratoma, a Brenner tumour or endometriosis. Association with an HPV infection is rare.
  
  
  METHODS
  A fourth case of ovarian squamous cell cancer associated with HR-HPV is presented. Debulking for stage IIIc ovarian squamous cell cancer was performed and she received adjuvant combination chemotherapy. She developed bone metastases and received radiotherapy. The Progression of these metastases and the newly developed metastases did not respond to an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (gefitinib).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The development of bone metastases in association with an ovarian squamous cell carcinoma is a rare finding, and it did not respond to treatment with a tyrosine kinase. A review of literature is presented.
