Abstract
Three years following nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma, a 54-year- old woman presented with symptoms secondary to ascites, and a large le ft adnexal mass. A large predominantly cystic, partially solid, septat ed mass with thick irregular margins was found on ultrasound and compu ted tomography scans. Pathological examination revealed renal cell car cinoma identical to the original tumor. The etiology and appearance of metastatic disease 50 the ovary are discussed.
