We report the unusual case of a 52-year-old female with known stable metastatic ovarian cancer presenting with a new, rapidly growing gastric metastasis, leading to surgical resection. Histologic assessment of the specimen revealed evidence of submucosal and intramuscular metastatic disease originating from a metastatic lesion and not from the primary tumor. This case represents one of an otherwise rarely documented clinical scenario that a metastatic focus can itself metastasize.
我们报告了一例罕见病例,一名52岁已知患有稳定转移性卵巢癌的女性出现了新的、快速生长的胃转移灶,遂进行了手术切除。对标本的组织学评估显示,存在起源于转移灶而非原发肿瘤的黏膜下和肌层内转移疾病的证据。该病例代表了一种临床情况,即转移灶本身可以发生转移,这种情况在其他方面很少有文献记载。
