Adenocarcinoma of the small intestine mistaken as a primary ovarian cancer

Abstract: A case of primary adenocarcinoma of the small intestine metastazing to the ovary is described. The patient was erroneously thought to suffer from a primary ovarian malignancy. To avoid unnessessary surgery, severe gastrointestinal symptoms in a patient thought to have an ovarian cancer should warn the surgeon against a possible gastrointestinal cancer.

“…The PubMed database was searched for literature on ovarian metastasis from small bowel cancer from January 1990 to September 2023, using the following search terms: (small bowel cancer) OR (small intestine cancer) OR (jejunum cancer) OR (duodenum cancer) OR (ileum cancer) AND (metastatic ovarian cancer). Only English-language literature were selected for documented case reports of ovarian metastases from SBA and there were 10 cases (Table II) (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). There are some differences between this case and cases in Table II.…”

“…Many factors play major role in the disease development and these includes advance age (8,9), genetics associations (10)(11)(12), early menstruation (13), late menopausal age (14) and hormonal therapy (15). An ovarian tumor mainly originates from its own tissue but some multiple tumors such as colon (16), stomach (17), small intestine (18), pancreas (6), breast (19) and even thyroid cancer (20) can be metastasis to the ovary. The world health organization (WHO) classified the ovarian cancer histologically to many types based on their histological principles (21), the high grade serous ovarian carcinoma are considered the most common histological type (22).…”
