title: [Ovarian metastasis of a primary renal cell carcinoma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We report one case of ovarian metastasis secondary to a renal clear cell carcinoma.
  
  
  RESULTS
  52 year-old consulting for metrorrhagia with the initial diagnosis of primary ovarian carcinoma. Tumor dissemination work up tests reported a renal mass suggestive of ovarian metastasis. Surgery included hysterectomy, double annexectomy, and radical nephrectomy. Final diagnosis was renal clear cell carcinoma with ovarian metastasis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Metastases to the ovary pose a diagnostic problem in their interpretation, especially when they show a similar histology to the primary ovarian tumor. Due to therapeutic and prognostic implications, it is very important to differentiate if it is a primary ovarian tumor or a metastasis from a renal carcinoma.
