Abstract:

Skin metastases from malignant ovarian carcinoma are very uncommon. These ovarian cutaneous metastases must be classified as umbilical metastases (Sister Joseph nodule) and nonumbilical metastases. Skin lesions at abdominal incision scars or at paracentesis site are to be considered as a propagation malignant tumor cells and not as metastases.We reported a 62 year old woman with large skin metastases from high grade serous papillary adenocarcinoma of the ovary, initially diagnosed as a low grade carcinoma.This case is uncommon with large skin metastases and transformation of a low grade to a high grade ovarian carcinoma.
