Abstract
BACKGROUND: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest of gynaecological cancers, often manifesting itself at a later stage (stage 3 and 4). Metastases and recurrences tend to be limited to the abdominopelvic cavity, and cutaneous metastases are rare. CASE SUMMARY: We report an interesting case of a 51-year-old who presented 2 years after her initial treatment with surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy for a stage IIB with an isolated recurrence in the external urethral meatus. CONCLUSION: This case highlights the need for clinicians and patients to remain vigilant during follow-up visits to rule out recurrences despite nonspecific symptoms reported by patients. Crown
