Walthard cell nests undergo metaplasia to give rise to different kinds of Brenner and mucinous neoplasm formations according to their genetic alterations. This paper adds to the available literature, which is still poor, by providing evidence of the first case of this rare combination from Syria with a review of different theories of origin and differential diagnoses. More studies directed towards exploring this combination's genetic origin are needed to boost our understanding of ovarian tumours in general.
