[Diaphragmatic metastases in ovarian neoplasms].
Laparoscopic examination is of considerable importance for the prognosis of ovarian carcinoma, especially the detection of metastases in the diaphragm and other abdominal areas. 65 patients with ovarian carcinoma underwent laparoscopy; in 31 cases metastases in various abdominal areas were found, in 25 cases also the diaphragm was involved. This high incidence seems to be remarkable.
