ABSTRACT
We here report the case of a 56-year-old female patient who underwent curative resection for right ovarian cancer with intraperitoneal dissemination and liver metastases. She received following adjuvant chemotherapy, and had been visited hospital for regular follow-up since then. One and half a year after surgery, blood examination showed increasing value of CA125. Contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed a tumor whose long diameter was 5 cm at front side of lower rectum. Following MRI and PET-CT examinations indicated the pelvic tumor as recurrence of ovarian cancer, so that laparotomy was carried out. As the tumor was palped through Douglas cavum, we performed low-anterior rectal resection for en bloc tumor extirpation. Tumor cells mainly developed at peri-rectal wall and proper muscle by HE staining of pathological findings, and ER(positive), vimentin(positive), CD56(positive), synaptophysin(negative)and chromogranin A(negative)by immunostaining indicated the tumor as metastasis of ovarian cancer. Though rectal metastasis from ovarian cancer is basically rare, it might be necessary to rule out possibility of metastatic colon tumor from ovarian cancer when treating patient with rectal tumor who had underwent surgery for ovarian cancer before.
