ABSTRACT
Ovarian metastases comprise 7-10% of all malignant ovarian tumors. The detection of ovarian metastases is difficult because primary ovarian tumors are a morphologically very heterogeneous group, and metastases can simulate an primary ovarian tumor perfectly. A correct diagnosis, however, is most important in order to avoid an unnecessary and ineffective chemotherapy. Therefore, every morphologically unusual ovarian tumor should raise doubts. In addition, mucinous and endometrioid tumors may also be metastatic in nature. Immunohistochemistry, as well as knowledge on the patient's history, will clarify most of the suspicious cases.
