Zusammenfassung:	Three cases of advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma Stage III–IV which could not be submitted to classical surgical and oncological treatment (BSO-TH) are presented. After a year of chemotherapy a complete remision was observed. Myometrial and myocervical micrometastases were found in a specimen from the hysterectomy, carried out during second-look, that was negative. These micrometastases, when they are present, apparently show a different chemosensitivity, as compared with other metastasis localization. The causes of this phenomenon are analyzed.
