Blastic osseous metastases in ovarian carcinoma.
A 75-year-old woman with histologically proven ovarian adenocarcinoma and no evidence of other malignant lesions was found to have disseminated blastic (sclerotic) metastases to bone without clinical evidence of gross peritoneal spread or lung involvement. The patient's survival for 28 months after the earliest evidence of bone involvement is noteworthy, because osseous metastasis in ovarian malignancy is usually a late manifestation of the disease.
