Primary appendiceal malignancy metastatic to the ovaries is a condition that may mimic advanced stage ovarian cancer. This condition is rarely diagnosed preoperatively. A 52-year-old woman referred to our institution for presumed advanced stage of ovarian cancer was found to have primary appendiceal adenocarcinoma metastatic to ovaries at laparotomy. We describe the clinical course of the patient. It is important for the gynecologist-oncologist to include tumors of the appendix into the differential diagnosis of any case of ovarian tumor.
原发性阑尾恶性肿瘤转移至卵巢是一种可能酷似晚期卵巢癌的病症。这种情况术前很少被诊断出来。一名因疑似晚期卵巢癌转诊至我院的52岁女性,在剖腹手术时被发现患有原发性阑尾腺癌转移至卵巢。我们描述了该患者的临床病程。对于妇科肿瘤学家而言,将阑尾肿瘤纳入任何卵巢肿瘤病例的鉴别诊断中很重要。
