Cutaneous involvement is a rare presentation of ovarian cancer. There are only a few such case reports in the literature, most of them in surgical scars or subcutaneous nodules. This is a rare case of a patient presenting with skin metastases originating from primary ovarian carcinoma, which appeared 8 months following a disease-free interval. Based on this case report and a review of the literature, it is concluded that cutaneous involvement in ovarian cancer is a poor prognostic sign. Life expectancy of these patients is only a few months from the time of diagnosis of skin metastases. Thus, one should consider merely a palliative approach in these cases.
皮肤受累是卵巢癌的一种罕见表现。文献中仅有少数此类病例报告，其中大多数发生在手术瘢痕或皮下结节处。这是一例罕见的原发性卵巢癌皮肤转移患者，在无病间期8个月后出现。基于本病例报告及文献复习，得出结论：卵巢癌皮肤受累是预后不良的征象。这些患者从皮肤转移诊断之时起预期寿命仅几个月。因此，在这些病例中应仅考虑采取姑息治疗方法。
