Abstract

To study the prognosis and metastatic route of cervical carcinoma with ovarian metastasis. From 1980 to 1993, 10 of the 1507 patients with cervical carcinoma operated and who had ovarian metastasis were analyzed. Six patients had squamous cell carcinomas and 4 patients had adenocarcinomas. Their mean age was 45 years. Six of 9 patients undergoing pelvic lymphadenectomy had nodal metastasis. One patient did not have nodal dissection in the treatment course. Five of 10 patients had involvement of corpus: 3 were accompanied with nodal metastasis, 1 was not and 1 other was unknown. None of our cases survived more than 5 years. Their mean survival time was 20.8 months for squamous cell carcinomas and 29 months for adenocarcinomas. (1) Ovarian metastasis is histologically one of the ominous signs of cervical carcinomas regardless of stage. The prognosis of patients with ovarian metastasis from cervical squamous cell carcinoma from our data is not different from those from cervical adenocarcinoma. (2) Lymphatic spread and transtubal implantation are possible pathways of cervical cancer metastasizing to ovary, and involvement of the corpus may potentiate this mechanism.
