[Bilateral ovarian metastases of intestinal adenocarcinoma as an accidental result in macroscopic inconspicuous ovaries - a case report].
We here report the incidental histological diagnosis of bilateral ovarial metastasis of a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient involved had undergone a vaginal hysterectomy with frontal and rear colporrhaphy on account of uterine and vaginal prolapse, and had requested a further "prophylactic adnexectomy". During the subsequent search for the primary tumor, a localised gastric carcinoma was diagnosed, concealed in the antrum.
