Saved by a hernia: an unusual presentation of ovarian cancer.
A lump in the groin of a 75-year-old woman co-existed with a single ovarian cyst. It was eventually diagnosed as a solitary necrotic omental metastasis from a cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary which had herniated through the femoral canal.
