Metastatic cholangiocarcinoma to the ovary: a case series.
Metastases to the ovary can be a challenging diagnostic dilemma as they often present similarly to a primary ovarian cancer, and there are many potential sites of origin. We present a case series of 5 patients with known cholangiocarcinoma recurrent in the ovary after completion of initial multimodality therapy including surgical resection of the primary tumor followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.
