Background: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is the most common
pathological type of ovarian cancer associated with endometriosis. The effect of
endometriosis on the prognosis of ovarian clear cell carcinoma remains
controversial. This study aimed to investigate the clinical features and
prognostic factors of pure OCCC. Methods: This single-center
retrospective study analyzed 136 cases of pure OCCC after surgical treatment
between 2010 and 2019. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether
the pathologically relevant background lesion was ovarian endometriosis. Clinical
data were compared between the groups. The Kaplan–Meier test and Cox regression
analysis determined prognostic factors for survival. The primary outcome
measure of the study was the duration of survival. Results: 83 (61%)
participants had ovarian endometriosis of pure OCCC. Patients with ovarian
endometriosis were significantly younger (50.55
