“…Les métastases ovariennes ou tumeurs de Krukenberg sont fréquentes avec une incidence qui avoisine 15% [1]. Les sites tumoraux primitifs sont par ordre de fréquence d'origine gastrique (70%), colique (15%) et biliopancréatique (5%) [2, 3].…”

Les ovaires constituent un site fréquent de métastases. L'origine gastrique prédomine. Les métastases ovariennes d'origine biliaire sont rarement rapportées dans la littérature. Les auteurs rapportent deux cas de métastases ovariennes d'origine vésiculaire chez des patientes âgées respectivement de 63 et 40 ans. Le diagnostic de ces métastases ovariennes était concomitant avec le cancer d'origine dans le premier cas, et a survenu à distance de l'atteinte initiale dans le deuxième cas. Le diagnostic est suggéré sur les données radiologiques et confirmé histologiquement. Les métastases ovariennes d'origine biliaire sont rarement rapportées dans la littérature. L'atteinte ovarienne pose un problème de diagnostic différentiel avec une atteinte ovarienne primitive surtout si l'atteinte ovarienne précède les manifestations biliaires. L'imagerie joue un rôle important et oriente sur le caractère secondaire de l'atteinte ovarienne.

“…The incidence of ovarian metastasis from different organs is nearly five to 15% [7]. Although a figure of 6% cases of gallbladder carcinoma with metastasis to ovary has been quoted by Albores-Saavedra [10], a description of only 19 such cases could be found in the literature (Table 1) [2-9].…”

“…Of these, eight cases presented with ovarian masses [2,3,5,6,8,9] and clinico-radiological findings in five mimicked a primary ovarian tumor [2,3,8]. With a pre-operative radiological investigation, diagnosis could not be established in four cases [4-7] and few were misdiagnosed as primary ovarian tumor even on histology [6,7]. …”

IntroductionThe ovary is a common site of metastasis from various organs. However, little is known about gallbladder carcinoma metastasizing to the ovaries and presenting as a primary ovarian tumor.Case presentationWe report two cases of a metastatic gallbladder carcinoma which mimicked a primary ovarian tumor in a 35-year-old and a 62-year-old North Indian woman. Clinically, both our patients presented with abdominal masses without obvious signs and symptoms related to gallbladder carcinoma. Radiology suggested the possibility of a primary ovarian tumor with chronic cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. The gross features also mimicked a primary malignant ovarian tumor in the first case and a benign mucinous neoplasm in the second case. Exact diagnoses could only be made after thorough sampling from both the ovaries and gallbladder.ConclusionsGallbladder carcinoma with metastasis to the ovaries can mimic both malignant and benign primary ovarian tumors. Extensive cystic change in the ovary due to metastasis from gallbladder carcinoma has rarely been reported. A high index of suspicion and thorough sampling are essential to avoid misdiagnosis in such cases.

Amaç:Primer odağı safra kesesi ve safra yolları olan metastatik over kanseri oldukça nadirdir. Bu çalıșmada overe metastaz yapmıș olan üç safra kesesi kanseri sunuldu.Olgu: Olguların tanı yașı 67, 70 ve 71'di. İkisinde tanı, preoperatif dönemde bilgisayarlı tomografi ve gastrointestinal sistem endoskopisiyle değerlendirilmiș olmasına rağmen intraoperatif olarak frozen/section ile konulabildi. İki olguda bilateral ovarian patoloji söz konusuydu. CA 125 düzeyi iki hastada normal değerlerin üzerindeydi. Bir hastada yaygın intraabdominal tutulum mevcuttu ve bu hastada safra kesesindeki patoloji preoperatif dönemde saptandı. Asitin (Ascites'in) olduğu bu olguda CA 125 düzeyi 489,82 IU/ml'ydi.Sonuç: Metastatik over tümörlerinin preoperatif ve intraoperatif dönemdeki klinik ve laboratuar bulguları ayırıcı tanıda yeterli olmayabilir. Frozen/section bu ayırımda belirleyicidir.Anahtar Sözcükler: Over kanseri, Safra kesesi kanseri, Metastaz Objective: Metastatic ovarian tumors from primarily from gallbladder and its ducts are considerably rare. In this study, three cases of gallbladder cancer that are metastasis to ovary are presented. Case:The cases were 67, 70 and 71 years old, at the time have metastases of diagnosis. For two of them, diagnosis can be made with intraoperative frozen/section, despite the fact that they have been examined with computed tomography and gastrointestinal system endoscopy in the preoperative stage. Two cases had bilateral ovarian pathology. CA 125 levels were over normal values for two patients. One of the patients had extensive intraabdominal involvement and the pathology in the gallbladder has been detected at the preoperative stage for this patient. In this case in which ascites was present, CA 125 level was 489.82 IU/ml. Conclusion:Clinical and laboratory findings of metastatic ovarian tumors at the preoperative and intraoperative stages may not be sufficient for differential diagnosis. Frozen/section is deterministic in differentiation.
