Zusammenfassung:•Ovarian cancer recurrences are rare in the cervix/vagina; here, we present a patient with 3 isolated recurrences.•We suggest a possible correlation between supracervical hysterectomy and local vaginal or cervical recurrence.•We recommend total abdominal hysterectomy as standard of care for debulking surgery in ovarian cancer. We present a rare case of a patient who was treated for advanced-stage ovarian cancer with optimal debulking surgery that included a supracervical hysterectomy, instead of total abdominal hysterectomy, who subsequently developed 3 isolated recurrences in the cervix and vagina. We suggest there may be a link between the type of hysterectomy and location of recurrence; we also emphasize the importance of pelvic exam and Papanicolaou smear for patients who have undergone supracervical hysterectomy as part of their ovarian cancer debulking surgery.
