    Abstract:

    Abstract:Objective:To investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer with ovarian metastasis. Methods:The clinical data of 17 cases of gastric cancer with ovarian metastasis, confirmed by surgery and pathology, were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The average age of the patients was 48.41 years, and the first appearance of symptoms and signs often were of metastatic ovarian cancer. The main ultrasonographic findings were either a complex type of mass with both solid and cystic characteristics or only solid, and most of them were accompanied by intraperitoneal fluid accumulation. Bilateral metastatic ovarian cancer was more common(13 cases). The preoperative accurate diagnosis of this disease was difficult, so that the misdiagnostic rate was 64.7% in this series. Operation was done in all the patients, but prognosis was poor. The median survival time was only 11.6 months. Conclusions: The prognosis of gastric cancer with ovarian metastasis is poor. It is of importance to inspect the stomach in cases of bilateral ovarian cancer. Radical resection of the primary disease focus together with hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy should be performed. Postoperative comprehensive therapy is conducive to improve the prognosis of gastric cancer with ovarian metastasis.
