Abstract

OBJECTIVE AND CASE: Both noninvasive and invasive methods have limited value in the diagnosis of metastatic ovarian cancer. We present a case with the initial complaint of abdominal distention in whom primary and metastatic tumor sites were safely diagnosed by using laparoscopy: a gastric tumor with ovarian metastasis.

Discussion: Diagnostic laparoscopy by the open technique provides a safe and effective diagnostic option in patients with metastatic ovarian cancer.

Keywords
