Unusual Synchronous Colonic Metastasis of Ovarian Cancer

20232 citationsOpen accessMohamed I University

Abstract

Colorectal metastasis is rare and can be confused with primary colorectal cancer. We report the case of a 63-year-old patient who presented with synchronous metastasis of the rectosigmoid junction and ovarian cancer. Initially thought to be a Krukenberg tumor, the diagnosis of metastasis from ovarian origin was confirmed through an immunohistochemical study of the colonic biopsy.
