[Rare late metastasis of a successfully treated advanced ovarian cancer].
A case of a 64 year old woman is reported suffering from bilateral inoperable ovarian carcinoma. Seven years before death the carcinoma was histologically confirmed by an explorative laparotomy. At this time even a diffuse peritoneal carcinosis was found. The polychemotherapy yielded to a reduction of tumor mass. This allowed a surgical radical operation two years later. During continued chemotherapy the patient was clinically and cytologically free of tumor. The death was caused by diffuse late metastases in the brain.
