Abstract:
Here, we report a case of ovarian metastases from colorectal cancer. A 61-year-old woman who underwent colorectal cancer surgery showed elevated CEA levels 30 months later. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography(CT)showed no recurrence; however, positron emission tomography-CT revealed a right ovarian mass. Based on these findings, a single-incision laparoscopic surgery was performed to diagnose right ovarian metastasis, and the histopathological diagnosis confirmed ovarian metastasis of colorectal cancer. The patient was recurrence-free at her 12 months postoperative follow-up.
