Primary Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma with Gastric Metastasis Mimic Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor

Epithelial ovarian carcinoma rarely metastasizes to the parenchyma of the stomach. A 55-years-old woman presented with epigastric pain and a feeling of fullness for one month. A subsequent contrast-enhanced CT scan demonstrated a 4.5 × 4 cm submucosal mass with focal ulceration in the gastric antrum, and this finding was suggestive of GIST. After gastric antrectomy, the final pathology showed metastatic gastric tumor from a primary ovarian serous carcinoma. Because epithelial ovarian carcinoma is usually spread along the peritoneal surface, stomach involvement is rare. Furthermore, transmural gastric metastasis is very rare in a patient with primary ovarian carcinoma. Until now, there has been no reported case of stomach involvement at presentation in a patient with primary ovarian carcinoma. We present here a case of ovarian carcinoma with gastric metastasis that mimicked GIST.

“…Of these 15 cases, only one Japanese case was reported as PPSC, excluding the case discussed here [14]. However, we cannot dismiss the possibility of more PPSC cases because the ovarian size at the initial diagnosis was not described in the most cases [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][11][12][13] and another report revealed the size of the ovary was 3 cm on PET/CT [10]. Of the 15 cases, three cases were symptomatic and detected at the initial diagnosis; the other cases were diagnosed as postoperative recurrence at the stomach.…”

“…There are no reports of gastric metastasis from PPSC in the English literature. Previously reported cases of gastric metastasis from pelvic high-grade serous adenocarcinoma are summarized in Table 1 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Of these 15 cases, only one Japanese case was reported as PPSC, excluding the case discussed here [14].…”

A Primary Peritoneal Serous Carcinoma Metastasizing to the Stomach Mimicking a Submucosal Tumor: A Potential Pitfall of Clinical Diagnosis

et al. 2016

A primary peritoneal serous carcinoma (PPSC) usually presents as peritoneal dissemination. We report a case of gastric metastasis from PPSC mimicking a primary gastric submucosal tumor (SMT). A 62-year-old woman presented to our hospital with abundant ascites, omental caking, and normal-sized ovaries. Cellblock analysis of ascite specimens indicated high-grade serous Müllerian carcinoma. Gastrointestinal endoscopy detected a 4-cm SMT, which was not gastric cancer, on the gastric antrum. A clinical diagnosis of PPSC was rendered. After chemotherapy, the gastric SMT reduced in size. Following this, the patient underwent complete resection of the residual tumors including gastric SMT. Pathological examination revealed that the gastric lesion was metastasis from PPSC. The assumption that an SMT lesion is a benign primary gastric tumor not requiring surgical resection may hinder optimal tumor debulking. Therefore, preoperative biopsy should be considered, if the situation allows.

“…Although metastatic gastric tumors are uncommon, gastric metastasis from ovarian carcinoma is extremely rare because malignant cells from the ovary usually spread through the intraperitoneal cavity 1-3. Here, we report a case of gastric metastasis from ovarian adenocarcinoma presented as a submucosal tumor without ulceration.…”

Metastatic gastric cancer is extremely rare and gastric metastasis from ovarian adenocarcinoma has rarely been reported. All of the previously reported metastatic lesions presented as an ulcerative lesions. We report a case of 49-year-old woman in which gastric metastasis from ovarian adenocarcinoma presented as a submucosal tumor without ulceration on endoscopic examination. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor was suspected on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) examination. It was confirmed histopathologically as metastatic ovarian adenocarcinoma after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with enucleation. Submucosal tumor of the stomach in patients with ovarian carcinoma should not be overlooked and ESD with enucleation may be a viable option when EUS with fine needle aspiration is not available.
