“…Positron emission tomography was investigated as a tool to exclude isolated ovarian metastasis, however, because the normally functioning transposed ovaries can give a positive signal that limits the specificity of this imaging modality. 34 A case of metastasis at the laparoscopic port site was reported by Picone et al 35 In our series, 2 patients had ovarian metastasis: 1 patient had primary rectal carcinoma and 1 patient had Ewing sarcoma. In both patients, the ovarian spread was part of a widespread intraperitoneal disease.…”

In case of two-dimensional opposed-field RT, the standard recommended ovarian position during RT is 4 cm outside the radiation field or 1.5 cm above the iliac crest.…”
