Abstract
Ovarian cancer is one of the main gynecologic malignancies including cervix cancer and endometrial cancer. Epithelial ovarian cancer generally presents with already advanced disease at the time of diagnosis and is known to have a poor prognosis. But ovarian cancer (stage I) defined as confined to the ovary is usually considered to have a good prognosis, illustrated by 5-year survival rates greater than 70-80%. Also, recurrences tend to be late and are common in the abdominopelvic cavity. Metastases to the skeleton structures are rare. We report a case of early ovarian cancer patient with recurrence as bone metastasis with review of literature.
Key Words: Bone metastasis, Early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer
