Atypical Presentation of Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma as Isolated Hepatic Metastases From Unknown Primary
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Epithelial ovarian carcinoma usually presents in very advanced stages with extensive intraabdominal disease in the form of omental and peritoneal deposits and gross ascites. Liver surface deposits are fairly common with such advanced stages of the disease. But intrahepatic parenchymal lesions are very unusual and are described as stage IV disease. Here we report a case of hepatic space occupying lesion that was found to be a metastatic deposit from ovarian cancer, but surprisingly with no other clinically obvious intraabdominal disease.
