Abstract

We report the PET-CT appearance of bilateral ovarian metastases in a 51-year-old woman with a history of right breast carcinoma with osseous metastasis diagnosed 14 years earlier. The colon and stomach are the most common primary tumor sites in ovarian metastasis, followed by the breast, lung, and contralateral ovary. It is important to consider this form of neoplasm in the differential diagnosis because the treatment and prognosis will be different from a dyssynchronous primary tumor.
