RESUMO
Isolate metastasis to the patella is rare. A young girl treated with bilateral enucleation for retinoblastoma, reported 9 years later with solitary patellar metastasis. Treatment options for distant metastasis from retinoblastoma are not well defined but include combinations of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. Late skeletal metastasis from retinoblastoma should be differentiated from second primary bone malignancies, with immunohistochemistry, cytogenetic and electron microscopic features, as the prognosis and management are different.

The authors describe two cases of primary fibrosarcoma of the ovary in 48 years and 66 years old women. Patients presented with abdominal masses associated with pain in the first case. USG and CT scan of the abdomen revealed ovarian tumours involving the left side in both cases . Both underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Histological examination showed features of fibrosarcoma grade I and grade III respectively. A clinicopathological study and brief review of literature is presented.
