[Nongynecological occult cancers diagnosed in the course of their ovarian metastases. A clinical and anatomicopathological study of 8 cases].
Malignant non-gynecological diseases manifested through ovary metastases are rare but not exceptional. In routine histological examinations of the ovary within the last 6 years we have found an unknown non-gynecological disease in 8 patients undergoing surgery in the gynecological clinic in Zurich. One lobular bilateral breast cancer, one pancreatic cancer, three stomach cancers and three lymphomas were diagnosed. The symptoms, treatment, prognosis and anatomo-pathological aspects are discussed.
