Abstract

While commonest as an autopsy finding, tumors that spread to the ovary are not rare in surgical pathology specimens and their misinterpretation may have significant adverse consequences for the patient. They may spread from adjacent sites by direct local extension or from distant extragenital sites. The latter tumors are truly metastatic, whereas the designation “metastatic” is sometimes not used for those that are secondary from local sites. For simplicity this discussion includes spread to the ovary from all sites.
