Renal cell carcinoma metastatic to the ovary. Ultrasound and CT appearance.
Three years following nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma, a 54-year-old woman presented with symptoms secondary to ascites, and a large left adnexal mass. A large predominantly cystic, partially solid, septated mass with thick irregular margins was found on ultrasound and computed tomography scans. Pathological examination revealed renal cell carcinoma identical to the original tumor. The etiology and appearance of metastatic disease to the ovary are discussed.
