title: Calcified intraperitoneal metastases from ovarian carcinoma.
abstract: Three cases of calcified ovarian metastatic carcinoma are reported in order to illustrate their principal forms and distribution. These cases also demonstrate unusual features of serosal, colonic, and gastric invasion; ureteral obstruction by a calcified metastasis; and active uptake of technetium diphosphonate by the metastatic lesions. Plain films often simulate retained colonic barium.
