“…For melanoma, no studies reporting on autotransplantation of ovarian tissue, or epidemiology of ovarian involvement were retrieved from the literature. However, numerous case reports were identified describing ovarian metastases from melanoma (Silveira et al, 1977;Gonzalez and Hammond, 1983;Martinelli et al, 1984;Fitzgibbons et al, 1987;Blumenfeld et al, 1991;Young and Scully, 1991;Murphy et al, 1994;Remadi et al, 1997;Moselhi et al, 1998;Nakano et al, 1998;Piura et al, 1998;Santeusanio et al, 2000;Gupta et al, 2004;Rey-Caballero et al, 2004;Belagyi et al, 2006;Jeremic et al, 2006;Bloch-Marcotte et al, 2008;Boutis et al, 2008;Milicevic et al, 2008;Shuhaila et al, 2008;Abe et al, 2009;Bahat et al, 2009;Fenzl et al, 2011;Sbitti et al, 2011;Habek et al, 2012). Apart from cases of ovarian metastases from cutaneous melanomas of different body locations, reports on choroidal melanomas metastasizing to the ovaries were published (Santeusanio et al, 2000;Rey-Caballero et al, 2004;Bloch-Marcotte et al, 2008).…”

BACKGROUND The risk of recurrent oncological disease due to the reintroduction of cancer cells via autotransplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue is unknown. METHODS A systematic review of literature derived from MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library was conducted. Studies on follow-up after autotransplantation; detection of cancer cells in ovarian tissue from oncological patients by histology, polymerase chain reaction or xenotransplantation; and epidemiological data on ovarian metastases were included. RESULTS A total of 289 studies were included. Metastases were repeatedly detected in ovarian tissue obtained for cryopreservation purposes from patients with leukaemia, as well as in one patient with Ewing sarcoma. No metastases were detected in ovarian tissue from lymphoma and breast cancer patients who had their ovarian tissue cryopreserved. Clinical studies indicated that one should be concerned about autotransplantation safety in patients with colorectal, gastric and endometrial cancer. For patients with low-stage cervical carcinoma, clinical data were relatively reassuring, but studies focused on the detection of metastases were scarce. Oncological recurrence has been described in one survivor of cervical cancer and one survivor of breast cancer who had their ovarian tissue autotransplanted, although these recurrences may not be related to the transplantation. CONCLUSIONS It is advisable to refrain from ovarian tissue autotransplantation in survivors of leukaemia. With survivors of all other malignancies, current knowledge regarding the safety of autotransplantation should be discussed. The most reassuring data regarding autotransplantation safety were found for lymphoma patients.

Ruptured ovarian metastatic malignant melanoma caused acute abdomen

AbstractOvarian metastatic malignant melanoma is a rare form of disseminated malignant melanoma. We present a rare case of acute abdomen due to rupture of ovarian metastatic malignant melanoma seven years after removal of a primary cutaneous malignant melanoma lesion, followed by reexcision of the cicatrix and axillary dissection (Clark III, Breslow IV), one year after osteoplastic parietal craniotomy for removal of recidiv metastatic lesions, and excision of the cutaneous malignant melanoma lesion on the upper leg were performed. During laparotomy because of acute abdomen, 4 L of free liquid (blood and ascites) were evacuated. The right adnexal mass was loose tumor, size 110x75 mm, with rupture on the posterior wall and hemorrhage. Unilateral adnexectomy was performed. Pathohystologic evaluation revealed tumor cells with eosinophilic, clear cytoplasm, intracytoplasmatic melanotic pigment and a great number of mitosis.Immunohistochemical results supported positivity for protein S-100, whereas results for cytoceratin 7, cytoceratin 20, pancytoceratin, epithelial membrane antigen and HMB-45 were negative. Three months after the surgery the patient died due to disseminated cerebral melanoma. An adnexal mass and the history of previous MM should be suspected to be ovarian metastatic malignant melanoma and the patient should be seen by gynecologist at least for active treatment.

In order to better define the frequency and patterns of metastasis to the female genital tract, all cases of nonhematopoietic metastases to the adnexa, uterus, vagina, and vulva encountered in patients treated at Barnes Hospital between 1950 and 1981 were reviewed. Three hundred twenty‐five metastatic cancers from 269 patients were recovered. One hundred forty‐nine cases were from extragenital primaries; the remaining tumors were intragenital metastases. Ovary and vagina were the most frequent metastatic sites for both extragenital and genital primaries. The majority of the extragenital metastases were adenocarcinomas from the gastrointestinal tract, but a variety of other primaries did spread, on occasion, to the genital tract. Twenty‐seven percent of the metastases presented as possible primary gynecologic lesions, and 75% of these tumors had an extragenital origin. It is shown that despite certain trends in the distribution of metastases, all sites in the female genital tract are at risk for the occurrence of metastases.
