Surface epithelial tumors are the most common neoplasms of the ovary. Among these, mucinous tumors accounts for 14% of ovarian tumors. Coexistence of mucinous tumor with other surface epithelial tumors is rare. We report here a rare case of mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary, with Brenner component in a 52-year-old post-menopausal woman who presented with chief complaint of mass per abdomen since one month and retention of urine since one week. Coexistence of these two tumors supports the theory of a common origin of surface epithelial tumors from coelomic or germinal epithelium, and therefore, it undergoes metaplastic change to transitional or urothelial-like morphology
