Laparoscopic management of an isolated ovarian metastasis on a transposed ovary in a patient treated for stage IB1 adenocarcinoma of the cervix.
Transposition of the ovaries is performed frequently in young women with early-stage cervical cancer. This procedure is performed to preserve their quality of life. However, this must be balanced with the risks of ovarian metastases especially in patients with adenocarcinomas. We report the first case of laparoscopic management of an isolated metastasis to a transposed ovary that occurred 2 years after primary laparoscopic treatment of a stage IB1 adenocarcinoma of the cervix.
