RESUMEN
We report a patient in whom 11 years after the treatment of a breast tumour, bilateral ovarian metastases were disclosed. Surgical exploration confirmed unique ovarian metastases within a 'clean' abdomen and pelvis. The particularities of this case compared with the literature are the rather long interval of 11 years and the fact that no other metastases were present. The literature indeed reveals that most of the patient with ovarian metastases are premenopausal, have bilateral involvement; the ovarian metastases occur within a few years and are frequently accompanied by other metastases.
