ABSTRACT


Breast and axillary nodes involvement in ovarian cancer is extremely rare. We report a case of solitary axillary lymph nodes metastasis from ovarian carcinoma in a 66-year-old woman, simultaneously diagnosed with the serous ovarian carcinoma. The diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic aspects as well as a review of the literature of this uncommon site of metastasis are discussed.

Keywords: Axillary lymph nodes, Case report, Metastases, Ovarian cancer
