The ovary is very rare site of mixed mesodermal tumour. The present case occurred in postmenopausal woman aged 52 years, in right ovary with endometrioid carcinomatous component admixed with chondrosarcomatous component and squamous element. The patient was disease free at one year follow up, with no evidence of local recurrence and distant metastases and was treated post-operatively with combination therapy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The review of literature is discussed briefly, with its histogenesis and its differential diagnosis from immature teratoma, malignant teratoma, sertoli leydig cell tumour containing islands of cartilages and embryonal carcinoma of ovary.
