Abstract

Cervical carcinoma is currently the second most common gynecologic malignancy worldwide with high incidence in developing countries. However, ovarian metastasis in cervical carcinoma is rare. Especially in squamous cell carcinoma of cervical cancer, ovarian metastasis is even more rare. And adenocarcinoma of cervical cancer with gradual increase in incidence, has low ovarian metastasis of 2.0-3.6% in the early stage, although it has high ovarian metastasis in the advanced stage. We experience one case of ovarian metastasis in recurrent cervical adenocarcinoma of stage IB1, and then we report it together with brief review of literatures.
