Summary:
Skin metastasis from malignant ovarian carcinoma is rare
and seen in only 3% of patients. Hence, we report a case of
ovarian cancer with scar metastasis. The patient, a 31 year
old woman presented with two skin nodules in the previous
laparotomy scar which revealed metastatic papillary serous
cyst adenocarcinoma on histopathology. So, it should be
considered that ovarian malignancy is not always confined
to pelvis and may present with associated skin lesion.
Key words: Ovarian carcinoma, Skin metastasis.
