Abstract

Read online

Ovarian cancer is a critically lethal gynecologic malignancy. More than 80% of patients with ovarian cancer have relapses within 5 years after initial treatment. However, recurrence from ovarian cancer more than 20 years later is extremely rare. We report a case of a 67-year-old female with mediastinal metastasis from ovarian cancer 29 years after initial gynecologic surgery and chemotherapy. Keywords: Ovarian serous carcinoma, Mediastinal metastasis, Late recurrence
