Abstract
A 75-year-old woman with histologically proven ovarian adenocarcinoma and no evidence of other malignant lesions was found to have dissemina ted blastic (sclerotic) metastases to bone without clinical evidence o f gross peritoneal spread or lung involvement. The patient's survival for 28 months after the earliest evidence of bone involvement is notew orthy, because osseous metastasis in ovarian malignancy is usually a l ate manifestation of the disease.
