Cutaneous Metastasis in Ovarian Cancer: Case Report and Literature Review

Background: Cutaneous metastasis (CM) is a rare manifestation of cancer. The estimated rate of CM in ovarian cancers is about 3.5%, with a median survival of about four months after the occurrence of CM. Case report: We report the case of a 65-year-old woman with stage IA G3 adenocarcinoma clear cells (WT1+,estr-) of the ovary presenting with umbilical CM after laparoscopic incisional hernia repair. Conclusion: A primary tumour spread to the skin typically occurs late in the course of the disease. The overall incidence of CM from visceral neoplasia is 5.3% and 3%-4% from ovarian cancer.
