Abstract
|
|
|
|
Skin metastasis in patients with ovarian cancer is quite uncommon. Most cases reported to date involved the trunk, sparing the extremities. We report the case of a 60-year-old woman with a subcutaneous nodular lesion on her left thigh, which was diagnosed as skin metastasis of ovarian serous papillary adenocarcinoma. She first noticed the nodule 42 months after her initial diagnosis of ovarian cancer. The diagnosis of the lesion was a challenge, as it morphologically mimicked a benign lesion such as a lipoma or epidermal cyst. Despite multiple sessions of chemotherapy, she died 3 months after being diagnosed with skin metastasis. Together with a concise review of the literature, we report an uncommon case of skin metastasis in a patient with ovarian cancer.
