*Fits into the ''transistional cell tumours'' category - in the surface epithelial group of ovarian tumours.
*Considered to be rare.<ref>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Bilici | first1 = A. | last2 = Inanc | first2 = M. | last3 = Ulas | first3 = A. | last4 = Akman | first4 = T. | last5 = Seker | first5 = M. | last6 = Babacan | first6 = NA. | last7 = Inal | first7 = A. | last8 = Bal | first8 = O. | last9 = Koral | first9 = L. | title = Clinical and pathologic features of patients with rare ovarian tumors: multi-center review of 167 patients by the anatolian society of medical oncology. | journal = Asian Pac J Cancer Prev | volume = 14 | issue = 11 | pages = 6493-9 | month =  | year = 2013 | doi =  | PMID = 24377556 }}</ref>
*Traditionally, BT has been grouped within the ''transistional cell tumours'' category in the surface epithelial group of ovarian tumours.
**Recently, [[transistional cell carcinoma of the ovary]] has been related to [[serous carcinoma]]; TCC of the ovary is probably distinct from the malignant Brenner tumour.<ref>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Ali | first1 = RH. | last2 = Seidman | first2 = JD. | last3 = Luk | first3 = M. | last4 = Kalloger | first4 = S. | last5 = Gilks | first5 = CB. | title = Transitional cell carcinoma of the ovary is related to high-grade serous carcinoma and is distinct from malignant brenner tumor. | journal = Int J Gynecol Pathol | volume = 31 | issue = 6 | pages = 499-506 | month = Nov | year = 2012 | doi = 10.1097/PGP.0b013e31824d7445 | PMID = 23018212 }}</ref>
