title: Solitary gastric recurrence from ovarian carcinoma: a case report and literature review.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Isolated gastric recurrence due to ovarian cancer is a rare event and is usually associated with gastrointestinal symptoms.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of an isolated gastric recurrence of ovarian carcinoma in an otherwise asymptomatic 42-year-old woman in whom diagnosis was made using the FDG-PET/CT scan followed by laparoscopy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In rare cases, ovarian cancer can directly recur on the stomach without any symptoms. FDG-PET/CT scan and diagnostic laparoscopy are effective in leading to an early diagnosis of disease recurrence.
