We present a rare case of a 40-year-old nulliparous lady, with no past medical or surgical history, who was diagnosed with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the right ovary that originated from a mature cystic ovarian teratoma. Our patient underwent debulking total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and partial omentectomy followed by postoperative carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy. Rapid disease progression ensued, complicated by severe parathyroid hormone-related protein-induced hypercalcaemia resistant to medical therapy. The patient was treated in a palliative manner and died five months after her diagnosis.
