Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest of gynaecological cancers, often manifesting itself at a later stage (stage 3 and 4). Metastases and recurrences tend to be limited to the abdominopelvic cavity, and cutaneous metastases are rare.
We report an interesting case of a 51-year-old who presented 2 years after her initial treatment with surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy for a stage IIB with an isolated recurrence in the external urethral meatus.
This case highlights the need for clinicians and patients to remain vigilant during follow-up visits to rule out recurrences despite nonspecific symptoms reported by patients.
上皮性卵巢癌(EOC)是最致命的妇科癌症,通常在晚期(3期和4期)出现。转移和复发往往局限于腹腔盆腔,皮肤转移罕见。
我们报告一例有趣的病例,一名51岁女性,在接受手术和辅助化疗治疗IIB期疾病后2年出现孤立性复发病灶,位于尿道外口。
该病例强调,尽管患者报告的症状不具特异性,但临床医生和患者在随访期间仍需保持警惕,以排除复发情况。
