“…Our Case 1 is of special interest since it represents the eighth reported case of metastatic carcinoma to the right ventricle causing outflow obstruction (1 [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], and the second specifically due to cervical carcinoma. It is the only reported case in which M-mode echocardiography was in-strumental in making the diagnosis.…”

Two patients with metastatic carcinoma (one cervical and one testicular) in whom echocardiography was instrumental in diagnosing a right ventricular cavity mass are presented. In first case the M-mode echocardiogram revealed dense echoes in the right ventricle and right ventricular outflow tract during systole and diastole. Surgical confirmation of the mass lesion was obtained. The second case also revealed abnormal echoes in the right ventricle and right ventricular outflow tract, but they were less dense and distinct. Two-dimensional echocardiography clearly delineated a highly mobile mass of tissue in the right ventricle which corresponded to the necropsy findings.

“…In a case report from 1978, Griffith et al described what it is considered to be the first case of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction by a metastatic deposit from ovarian carcinoma. It was only after the patient’s death, that diagnosis was certified, suggesting an ovarian primary with a solitary metastasis to the myocardium [120].…”

Background: Although metastases of ovarian and peritoneal carcinomatosis are most commonly found within the peritoneal cavity, there is a number of other rare distant sites that have been reported. Our goal is to provide an evidence-based summary of the available literature considering the rare distant metastatic sites of ovarian and peritoneal carcinomatosis. Methods: A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted, with Medline/PubMed being searched for cases of rare metastatic disease originated from primary ovarian and peritoneal cancer with related articles up to 2019 including terms such as “ovarian cancer”, “metastases”, “peritoneal” and others. Results: The most common mechanism of ovarian cancer metastases consists of primarily dissemination within the peritoneal cavity, while, rare and distant sites can either occur at the beginning or during the course of the disease and they are usually associated with hematogenous route and lymphatic invasion, having poor prognosis, with the least common sites being skin, bone, CNS, eye, placenta, central airways, rare lymph nodes, intra-abdominal organs, heart and breast. Conclusions: The occurrence of metastatic sites described in this review represents the most common rare distant metastatic sites, and even though their patterns of metastases are still not fully clarified due to the rarity of the reports, they offer valuable information considering the pathophysiology of the disease.
