Abstract
Background:
Ovarian metastases are being found in a variety of different malignant diseases.
Case Report:
A clinical case of a woman with a pelvic tumor and elevated CA125 levels, and suspected primary ovarian carcinoma is presented. Surgery revealed a metastasis of a B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Conclusions:
Literature research shows that elevated CA125 levels are often found in lymphomas.

02:30Metastasis
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
