Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors of the female genital tract, either primary or secondary are rare. Ovarian metastasis from a neuroendocrine tumor in particular is a rare event with about 60 cases cited in the literature. Ovarian metastases are bilateral in approximately 70% of cases. Case Report: A 50 year old female presented with pain abdomen and CT abdomen revealed left ovarian cyst. During laparotomy, an ileal growth was identified. Ileal resection, anastomosis and bilateral salpingoophorectomy were done. Conclusion: Unilateral ovarian metastasis, though a rare event, is a critical issue in the management of neuroendocrine tumors. We present this case in view of its rare association.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
