Isolated appendiceal metastasis in early ovarian carcinoma.
The appendix was identified as the only site of extrapelvic metastatic ovarian carcinoma at the time of primary surgical staging. Isolated appendiceal metastasis has not been previously reported in comprehensively staged early stage ovarian carcinoma. Routine appendectomy during surgical staging of ovarian carcinoma should be considered.
