Solitary Gastric Metastasis from Ovarian Cancer
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Gastric metastasis from ovarian cancer is rare and usually occurs in advanced stages. We describe a case of a 61-year-old woman who presented with a solitary gastric submucosal tumor years after the diagnosis of a stage IIIC ovarian serosal and papillary carcinoma. Endoscopy showed a submucosal lesion covered with an ulcerated gastric mucosa. Biopsy revealed an adenocarcinoma of unknown origin. The patient underwent a distal gastrectomy and the final histological exam confirmed the diagnosis of gastric metastasis from ovarian serous adenocarcinoma. We concluded that gastric submucosal tumors in patients with a history of ovarian cancer, must suggest the secondary origin of these lesions.
