Ovarian serous carcinoma with stomach metastasis: a rare case report and literature review.
Journal of International Medical Research 2024 April
Ovarian cancer is a common tumor among women. It is often asymptomatic in the early stages, with most cases already at stage III to IVE at the time of diagnosis. Direct spread and lymphatic metastasis are the primary modes of metastasis, whereas hematogenous spread is rare. An initial diagnosis of ovarian cancer that has metastasized to the stomach is also uncommon. Therefore, clear treatment methods and prognostic data for such metastasis are lacking. In our hospital, we encountered a patient with an initial imaging diagnosis of a gastric tumor and a history of an ovarian tumor with endoscopic abdominal metastasis. Based on the characteristics of the case, the two tumors were considered to be the same. After chemotherapy, a partial response was observed in the stomach and pelvic lesions, suggesting the effectiveness of the treatment. Through three treatments of recurrence, gastroscopy confirmed the stomach to be a metastatic site. Therefore, determining the primary source of advanced tumors is crucial in guiding treatment decisions. Clinicians must approach this comprehensively, relying on thorough evaluation and personal experience.
