A Metastatic Sigmoid Colon Cancer from Ovarian Cancer

Abstract

A case of solitary metastatic sigmoid colon cancer from ovarian cancer was reported. A 57-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital complaining of the left lower abdominal tumor. She had had an extended hysterectomy for ovarian cancer 5 years and 7 months before. Findings of ultrasonographic examination and computed tomography indicated that the tumor was recurrence of ovarian cancer. She underwent a laparotomy and the tumor was diagnosed as metastatic sigmoid colon cancer. Sigmoidectomy with lymph node dissection was performed, Histopathological findings revealed metastasis of cystadeno-carcinoma from ovarian cancer. Cancer chemotherapy using doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide and cisplatin was given postoperatively. She has been doing well for 6 months post-operatively.
