Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a relatively uncommon epithelial ovarian malignancy with unique clinical, histopathologic and genetic characteristics. Patients with advanced OCCC have poor outcomes and are resistant to standard chemotherapy. Targeted therapy offers a novel approach for treating OCCC. We report the case of a 45-year-old female patient with advanced OCCC who experienced relapse after standard treatment. Further, a frameshift mutation in the homologous recombination repair-related gene RAD50 (RAD50-p.I371Ffs*8) was identified by genetic testing. Next, the patient had received targeted combination therapy with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor pamiparib and bevacizumab, achieving partial remission. Patient’s symptoms improved significantly compared to before. To date, the patient has been followed up for more than half a year with favorable survival and high quality of life. The case report suggested that parmiparib-targeted therapy is a viable treatment option for advanced OCCC patients with RAD50 mutation.
