Distant metastases are unusual at presentation and during the course of ovarian carcinoma.
Skin metastases may be the first presenting sign of metastatic carcinoma of the ovary. Ovarian
epithelial adenocarcinoma rarely metastasizes to the skin, and can be seen in less than 4% of
patients. It usually presents as subcutaneous nodules and, less commonly, as inflammatory
metastases, which mimic viral or bacterial skin infections. The histology in most of the tumors is
serous papillary adenocarcinoma (grade 1 or 2). The prognosis in most patients is poor, thus
palliative treatment is usually indicated. We report a patient with widespread skin metastases and
review the literature on this rare presentation.
