Introduction:
Ovarian metastatic squamous carcinoma of the cervix is rare, accounting for about 0.4%. This study reports a single case of metastatic recurrent cervical cancer in the ovary.
Case Presentation:
A 46-year-old patient with a history of cervical cancer T1b2N0M0 underwent a radical hysterectomy, bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection, and ovarian preservation. One year later, the patient was admitted to the hospital because of abdominal pain in the left iliac fossa; the abdominal computed tomography image showed a left ovarian tumour. The patient underwent laparoscopic left oophorectomy. Postoperative histopathology confirmed ovarian squamous cell carcinoma. From this case, we would like to review the literature on epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
Clinical Discussion:
Ovarian preservation during surgery in patients with cervical cancer offers many benefits, but careful patient selection is required. However, it should be selected carefully and closely monitored.
Conclusions:
Clinicians should be aware of this situation of ovarian metastasis in patients with early cervical cancer undergoing ovarian-conserving surgery.

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...
