ABSTRACT
In patients with gynecologic malignancies, bone metastases are unusual and generally occur in a more advanced stage of the disease with extended local invasion of the primary site and/or parenchymal metastasis. In ovarian cancer, the main route of spread is intraperitoneal implantation and loco-regional invasion, whereas extraperitoneal spread usually implies advanced disease. Bone metastasis from ovarian cancer is rare and occurs in approximately 1% of primary or recurrent disease. The prognosis of cases with bone metastasis is poor. We report a patient with metastases to the sternum and a rib after prolonged treatment and a patient with recurrent ovarian cancer metastatic to the sacrum 8 months after primary treatment.
