“…According to Chu et al CK7+, CK20- represents 98 % of OCs versus 0 % of colorectal cancers. Beyond that, two markers were included in the study of Lagendijk et al [8] who reached the same conclusions suggesting that CK7+, CA125+ /CK20-, carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA)- are biomarkers for diagnosing an ovarian origin, and CK7 - /CA-125 - /CK20 + /CEA+ in case of a colon origin. However, CA125 remains normal in 15 % of OCs.…”

“…Ovarian cancer is a disease that is asymptomatic for a long time, making early clinical diagnosis difficult and the prognosis of this pathology quite pejorative. 5 The metastatic spread of ovarian cancer occurs via the hematogenous lymphatic or transperitoneal route which is the main mode of spread by detachment of malignant cells in the peritoneal cavity. 6 Intraperitoneal propagation is also favored by intestinal peristalsis, negative hydrostatic pressure under the diaphragm.…”

Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor that usually develops from the surface coating of the ovaries. The most common form is epithelial carcinoma. As a result of its location, and its silent nature responsible for a delay in diagnosis that makes the prognosis rather poor. The usual metastatic sites are the peritoneal cavity, liver and lung. Secondary biliary localization is a rare, even exceptional site. We report the observation of a patient who presented with abdominal pain in the right hypochondrium and progressive vomiting. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a 21 mm gallbladder lithiasis with hepatic steatosis. Abdominal CT scan revealed a large heterogeneous mass with engulfed gallstones. The patient underwent cholecystectomy. Histological study showed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and acute cholecystitis. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the tumor cells were positive for antibodies against CK7, WT1, PAX8 and p53 and negative for CK20 and ER. These results suggest that the tumor was a metastasis of serous ovarian adenocarcinoma. Medical imaging done with abdominal CT showed an ovarian mass with peritoneal carcinosis, serum CA125 was elevated at 97U/ml. Carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were normal. The patient received first-line chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel. After 6 courses of therapy, she achieved a partial clinical, biological and radiological response, in our medical oncology department of the CHU Hassan II from Fez. The interest of the subject is to report the rarity of this entity as well as the radiological, histopathological, prognostic and therapeutic characteristics.

“…Finally, the case of our first patient is also interesting regarding the presence of histologically confirmed rectal metastases. Only 5 cases of colorectal metastases from an ovarian cancer have been reported, mainly in the clear cell carcinoma subtype 20 – 24 . Thus, in this paper, we have described the sixth case and the first case with both breast-and rectal metastases from a serous papillary ovarian carcinoma.…”

Case Report: Mammary and rectal metastases from an ovarian cancer: report of two cases and review of literature

In this paper we report two interesting cases of metastatic ovarian cancer. The first case is a patient who developed rectal and breast metastases mimicking an inflammatory breast cancer. In the second case, subclinical breast and axillary lymph node metastases were revealed by PET/CT. Metastases in the breast originating from solid tumors are extremely rare. The ovarian primitive is the fourth most common origin. The occurrence of breast metastasis is associated with an advanced disease and a poor prognosis. Their incidence is increasing since they are found more often due to better imaging techniques and to better treatment that, accordingly, improve patients’ survival. Thus, unusual sites of metastases are more and more reported. Indeed, some authors reported the occurrence of colorectal metastases from ovarian cancer. However, they remain much less frequent.
