SQUAMOUS-CELL CARCINOMA OF THE CERVIX METASTATIC TO AN OVARIAN BRENNER TUMOR

Metastatic tumors account for approximately 10 to 15% of surgically ex cised ovarian malignancies (Semin Diagn Pathol 8:250-276, 1991). Altho ugh the majority of tumors arise within the female genital tract, cerv ical cancer is a rare source of metastasis to the ovary. Cervical carc inomas with ovarian involvement are usually advanced lesions with lymp h node involvement (Am J Obstet Gynecol 166:50-53, 1992; Cancer 71:407 -418, 1993). We present a case of Stage IIB squamous cell carcinoma of cervix metastatic to an ovarian Brenner tumor. Our purpose in present ing this case is to report useful histologic features in the diagnosis of this rare combination of tumors. We are not aware of any other pub lished reports of this entity.
