RUIZ REYES, Roberto Eugenio; JORDAN ALONSO, Ariel; MADRUGA VAZQUEZ, Ketty  y  FERNANDEZ CEDENO, Olayma. Ovarian metastasis of a renal cell carcinoma: presentation of a case and literature review. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2012, vol.34, n.6, pp. 696-702. ISSN 1684-1824.

We present a case of ovarian metastasis secondary to a renal cell carcinoma, in a female patient aged 35 years old, assisted the consultation for abdominal tumor a year after being operated of a left renal cell carcinoma by videolaparoscopic surgery. In the studies made we confirmed a bilateral ovarian tumor. In the histopathologic study we confirmed the renal primary tumor as metastatic. The ovaries are common places of intrabdominal metastasis; around the 6 % of the ovarian cancer is secondary to primary tumors in the stomach, colon, mammas and lymphomas. The ovarian metastasis of a renal cell carcinoma is very infrequent.

Palabras clave : ovarian metastasis; renal cell carcinoma.
