Abstract:
In this review, ovarian metastatic carcinomas from various sites, as well as other neoplasms secondarily involving the ovary, are discussed. As well as describing the morphology, the value of immunohistochemistry in distinguishing between primary and metastatic neoplasms in the ovary is discussed. While immunohistochemistry has a valuable role to play and is paramount in some cases, the results should be interpreted with caution and with regard to the clinical picture and gross and microscopic pathologic findings.
