Nonepithelial ovarian cancer (NEOC) represents a wide variety of rare tumors. They are often diagnosed at an early stage and have a good prognosis compared to epithelial ovarian cancer. In the Nordic countries, the total annual number of patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Fallopian tube cancer or primary peritoneal carcinoma (hereafter ovarian cancer) was 2281 in 2014–2018, of which 3–10% were NEOC. International guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up have been developed. We present the results of a survey, aiming at clarifying current clinical practice in the Nordic countries. Between 09.2020 and 02.2021 a 33-question electronic survey was distributed to 22 hospitals in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Denmark  via  the Nordic Society of Gynecological Oncology (NSGO) National Representatives. Data were collected in a secure web-based software platform. The questionnaire focused on demographics, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up programs. Twenty-one (95,4%) centers completed the survey. A total of 155 annual new NEOC cases treated in the Nordic countries were reported, corresponding to approximately 7% of all ovarian cancer cases. Most centers measured some or all of the recommended biomarkers routinely. Vaginal ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) were the preferred imaging modalities. The majority of centers conducted multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings. The primary reported treatment was surgery. In 65% of centers, lymph node dissection was only performed in cases with suspicious lymph nodes. Surveillance was usually offered &gt; four years. Despite, the presence of clinical European guidelines, variation in the current clinical practice amongst participating centers adhering to national guidelines was observed. Prospective clinical national research programs are sparse, and an enhanced cooperation in the Nordic countries toward development of a Nordic guideline and database is highly warranted and a prerequisite for future research, preferably in cooperation with the larger international groups.
