Abstract
Ovarian metastasis from early stage squamous cervical cancer is rare. In a series of 393 surgically treated patients with squarnous cervical cancer, stages IB and HA, 2 had unsuspected ovarian metastasis. These cases are reported. In younger patients, ovarian extirpation instead of conservation of the ovaries must only be considered in histologically unfavorable tumors extending high up in the endocervix, especially on suspicion of lymph node metastasis.
