Polymyositis--an unusual presentation of ovarian malignancy: a case report.
A unique case of carcinoma of ovary with an unusual presentation is reported here. Her presenting complaint was in no way related to ovarian malignancy. She presented to the neurologist with the features suggestive of polymyositis. She did not respond satisfactorily to the conventional treatment by steroids and on investigation, was found to have an underlying advanced ovarian malignancy.
