Carcinoma Ovary with Lung Metastasis: A Rare Case Report

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy. Despite advances in chemotherapy, five year survival rate of advanced ovarian cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis remains around 30%. The most significant prognostic factor is stage and most patients present at an advanced stage with peritoneal dissemination. There is often no clearly identifiable precursor lesion, therefore, the events leading to metastatic disease are poorly understood. Solitary lung metastasis is extremely rare. We report the case of a 39-year-old woman who was admitted to our department with a lung mass. She had a past history of ovarian cancer 6years ago for which she underwent Cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC in august 2016. Histopathology report suggestive of High-grade serous carcinoma. She received adjuvant chemotherapy. She was on follow up and PET scan shows two soft tissue density nodules noted in left lung lower lobe largest 2.8×2.5cm. Left lower lobectomy was performed. Microscopically, the tumor was a high-grade serous carcinoma and was diagnosed as an ovarian cancer metastasis.
