Abstract

A case of metastasis from squamous carcinoma stage 1B of the cervix to a borderline cystadenoma of the ovary is described. In addition, the patient had atypical endometrial hyperplasia. The patient underwent a radical hysterectomy with no adjuvant postoperative treatment and has resumed work, with no sign of recurrence one year postoperatively. The aspects of the metastasis to the ovary, multiple tumors in the genital tract and tumor-to-tumor metastasis are discussed. Reports on ovarian metastasis in low-stage squamous carcinoma of the cervix are few and it still seems justified to spare the ovaries at surgery in the young patient.
