Skin metastasis in ovarian carcinoma

.  Yilmaz Z, Bese T, Demirkiran F, Ilvan S, Sanioglu C, Arvas M, Kosebay D. Skin metastasis in ovarian carcinoma. Int J Gynecol Cancer 2006;16(Suppl. 1):414–418. We report a case of 69-year-old woman who presented with pleural metastasis of a serous papillary adenocarcinoma of the ovary. After chemotherapy and surgery, she had 2 years disease-free survival. After this period of time, she presented with a swollen leg, a cellulitis-like syndrome and erythematous nodules at lower abdominal wall and upper leg skin. The skin biopsy revealed metastasis of adenocarcinoma in the dermis. She died after 4 months of the diagnosis of the skin metastasis. In 20 years experience in our unit, it is the first time that we recognize a cutaneous metastasis in ovarian cancer.
