ABSTRACT
87 female patients with carcinoma of the colon and rectum were treated in our hospital from 1977 to 1986. Among them seven (8%) were found to have ovarian metastasis, The average age of the patients was 49 years. The primary tumor was mainly located in the sigmoid or ascending colon. The se-rosa was involved in all the 7 cases. Ovarian metastasis were usually bilateral. The prognosis of the patients with ovarian metastasis remained poor despite the performance of a radical operation. It is very important to consider the possibility of the ovarian metastasis in patients with colonic cancer, and prophylactic oophorectomy is imperative in order to effect a cure.
