Normal Size Ovary Carcinoma Syndrome with Inguinal Ovarian Cancer Lymph Node Metastases - A Case Report and Literature Review.

Inguinal lymph node mass as the first sign in patients with ovarian cancer represents a rare situation, with only few cases being reported so far. We present the case of a 46-year-old patient who presented for the apparition of bilateral inguinal tumoral masses in the absence of any other pathological signs. The biopsy revealed the presence of an adenocarcinoma with probable genital origin; however, neither the gynaecological examination nor the computed tomography demonstrated the presence of any suspect lesion. The patient was submitted to a positron emission computed tomography which revealed a high capitation in both adnexal areas as well as at the level of the inguinal lymph nodes. The patient was submitted to surgery, the frozen section of the adnexas confirming the ovarian origin of the tumor. Complete cytoreduction to no residual disease was successfully performed. At one-year follow-up the patient is free of any recurrent disease. Copyright
