Clear cell carcinoma of the ovary is uncommon, and there are few reports of successful long-term therapy. In this case report, a previously healthy preadolescent presented with clear cell carcinoma of the ovary. After progressing through two regimens of chemotherapy, she was given topotecan, which arrested the disease. Nearly 3 years later, she continues to lead a near-normal life as a high school student. Our treatment plan is to continue to administer this therapy at monthly intervals until relapse. Although the achievement of stable disease with topotecan is frequently observed in patients relapsing with epithelial ovarian cancer, durable stable disease in clear cell carcinoma of the ovary is unusual. Treatment--and long-term maintenance therapy--with topotecan may be an option in such patients. In this case, the lack of cumulative toxicities allows the patient to maintain her usual daily activities.
