Zusammenfassung: | Ovaries can be an elective metastatic site for many cancers mostly in gastrointestinal tract, breast and endometrial cancers. Gallbladder and bile ducts cancers are rare, accounting for few ovarian metastatic tumors. We report a case of bilateral metastatic ovarian of gallbladder carcinoma in a 44 years old woman. Patient had pelvic pain, anorexia, weight loss and decreased visual acuity. Imagery showed bilateral ovarian tumor and polyp in the gallbladder. Furthermore, there were metastasis to the liver, lungs and choroid plexus. Liver biopsy confirmed the metastatic origin from gallbladder cancer. Patient underwent surgery. She had total hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy, omentectomy and cholecystectomy. She passed away six months later, after refusing additional adjuvant therapy. |
