Small cell carcinoma of the ovary presenting as bone marrow metastasis: a rare presenting feature.

ABSTRACT

Small cell carcinoma (SCC) of ovary-hypercalcaemic type is a rare cancer of young pre-menopausal women of unclear histogenesis. Bone metastasis and bone marrow infiltration by ovarian carcinomas is a rare feature and only a few case reports are available in the literature. Herein we report a case of small cell carcinoma-hypercalcaemic type of both the ovaries with bone marrow infiltration and features of metastatic calcification in various organs.
