Abstract

When an ovarian mass suspicious for malignancy is identified at an imaging examination, primary ovarian cancer is generally the main concern [1]. However, malignant tumors of the ovary are metastatic in 5–7 % of cases [2]. While metastases are uncommon in daily practice, metastatic neoplasms may be misdiagnosed as primary ovarian neoplasms [3, 4], potentially leading to inappropriate management [1].
