ABSTRACT
We present here the first-reported case of tubal metastasis from colorectal cancer diagnosed by a preoperative pelvic ultrasound. A 53-year-old woman suffering from vaginal discharge was referred to us 2 years after she underwent a partial colectomy for adenocarcinoma. The pelvic ultrasound examination revealed a right pelvic mass of 52 × 24 × 38 mm, independent of the right ovary, which was apparently unaffected. A right salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and the definitive histopathology examination showed a recurrence of the initial adenocarcinoma with a right tubal metastasis. The eventuality of such an unusual site of metastasis should be remembered.
