“…Metastatic ovarian cancer often origins from various organs, represents about 5-15% of all ovarian tumors [3][4][5], krukenberg tumors is only 1-2% of them[6],which often confused with primary ovarian tumours and teratoma.Most patients with gallbladder-derived ovarian malignant tumors have no obvious and speci c clinical manifestations, often manifested as abdominal pain or abdominal distension, and only a few patients can appear with gallbladder cancer-related symptoms,such as jaundice [7][8].In our case, only abdominal distension was presented as the rst symptom with the pelvic mass touched during physical examination.The patient also had insidious abdominal pain,but it is considered as gastritis.In addition,the ascites usually represents an advanced stage of cancer.…”

Introduction：Multiple-organ primary tumors can invade the ovary through lymphatic and hematogenous routes presenting as ovarian Krukenberg tumors (KT);however they rarely originate from the gallbladder and are often present as primary ovarian tumors;however,their treatments are totally different. Patient concerns:A 62-year-old Chinese woman presented with abdominal distension for Six months and a weight loss of 5 kg for two months. Diagnoses: Base on multiple imaging examinations,the patient was preliminarily diagnosed with a malignant tumor of unknown origin with multiple metastases(liver,gallbladder,right-adnexal,omentum).To identify the origin of the malignancy,the patient received real-time contrast enhanced ultrasound-guided (CEUS-guided) percutaneous biopsy.The postsurgical pathologic examination showed perihepatic hypoecho and right-adnexal mass were both metastatic adenocarcinoma from the gallbladder. Interventions: The patient received chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin instead of surgery,however,after six cycles, the lesion increased after reexamination, so the treatment was changed to combination with duvariumab regimen for 5 cycles. Outcomes:At present, the treatment process went smoothly with no recurrence or obvious progress during follow-up. Conclusions: Differential diagnosis between primary and metastatic ovarian tumors is important.Early diagnosis and effective treatment options are essential for patient survival.The punch biopsy is significant for patients with multiple metastases that cannot tolerate surgery. Ethical compliance: All procedures performed in studies involving human participants comply with the ethical standards of the institutional and / or national research committees and with the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and its later amendments or similar ethical standards.

Diseases of the ovary are diversely arising from the different parenchymal tissue components. This span between reactive functional cysts to more debilitating ovarian carcinoma. Ovarian carcinoma is the sixth most common cancer and one of the leading cause of cancer death among female. This study aims to determine the epidemiological and histopathological patterns of ovarian masses in our setting.The study material was all the ovarian tissues biopsy specimen submitted to the Department of Histopathology, Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto over five years. These were fixed in 10% formal saline embedded in paraffin wax, tissue blocks formed and were sections and stained with hematoxylin and eosin on the glass slides. Request cards and case folders were used to extract clinical information. These were reviewed, analysed and presented as frequency distribution figures.There were 112 ovarian biopsies during the study period. Their ages ranged between 13 and 67 years and peaked in the fourth decade of life. Fifty per cent of all the cases were seen between the ages of 21 and 40 years. Benign neoplastic diseases formed 50% of the ovarian masses and matured cystic teratoma was the most common. Others were reactive and functional ovarian cysts (24.1%), malignant neoplastic conditions (14.3%) and inflammatory / infectious diseases (11.6%). Overall mature cystic teratoma constitutes 27% of the entire ovarian masses. Matured cystic teratoma was the most common disease of the ovary in our setting, afflicting young female, while malignant tumours dominated by serous cystadenocarcinoma affect the older age group. The fourth decade of life was the most common age of affectation. We advocate for proper histopathologic evaluation of all ovarian masses to arrive at a definitive diagnosis to offer an appropriate treatment modality.
