Core Tip	Malignant transformation (MT) of mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is uncommon and has a poor prognosis, especially in advanced cases. Surgery and chemotherapy are selected in accordance with ovarian cancer, but the prognosis is typically poor due to the high degree of malignancy, making treatment often challenging. We present a case of stage IV MT of MCT in which concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) had a reduction effect preoperatively. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) was used for diagnosis due to the patient’s poor general condition. EUS-FNB was useful in diagnosing MT of MCT; CCRT suppressed the disease and improved the patient’s quality of life.
