Solitary Gastric Metastasis from a Stage IA Serous Ovarian Carcinoma: A Case Report with Literature Review

: Gastric metastasis from ovarian cancer is exceptionally rare and generally occurs in advanced stages. A 71-year-old woman presented with a solitary gastric submucosal mass 8 years after the diagnosis of a stage IA ovarian serous adenocarcinoma. Endoscopy showed a tumor covered with normal gastric mucosa. Initially, a gastrointestinal stromal tumor was suspected, but biopsy revealed a histology of invasive micropapillary carcinoma, similar to the histological findings of the previously resected ovarian tumor. Clinicians should consider that in patients with a submucosal tumor and a history of ovarian cancer, gastric lesions may be secondary metastases from ovarian cancer.
