title: Squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix metastatic to an ovarian Brenner tumor.
abstract: Metastatic tumors account for approximately 10 to 15% of surgically excised ovarian malignancies (Semin Diagn Pathol 8:250-276, 1991). Although the majority of tumors arise within the female genital tract, cervical cancer is a rare source of metastasis to the ovary. Cervical carcinomas with ovarian involvement are usually advanced lesions with lymph node involvement (Am J Obstet Gynecol 166:50-53, 1992; Cancer 71:407-418, 1993). We present a case of Stage IIB squamous cell carcinoma of cervix metastatic to an ovarian Brenner tumor. Our purpose in presenting this case is to report useful histologic features in the diagnosis of this rare combination of tumors. We are not aware of any other published reports of this entity.
