Abstract

Ovarian cancer remains one of the most aggressive gynecological malignancies after cervical and endometrial cancer especially due to the multiple patterns of spread cited so far. Although it has been stated that the peritoneal route is the most dangerous pattern of spread leading to the apparition of disseminated intraabdominal lesions, other pathways such as hematogenous or lymphatic route can be also important, leading to the apparition of abdominal and extra-abdominal metastases. The aim of the current paper is to discuss about the risk of developing axillary metastases from ovarian cancer primaries.
