Abstract

Ovarian cancer is the second most common cancer in women and up to a fifth of all ovarian tumours are metastatic in origin. Among these metastatic tumors, the most common primaries are the gastrointestinal tract and breast. We report the case of a 66-year-old lady who presented with recent onset vague lower abdominal pain and distension who on evaluation was diagnosed to have bilateral ovarian metastases from a pancreatic primary. This case highlights the importance of considering metastasis and to include a pancreatic primary in the differential diagnosis of patients with bilateral ovarian tumours.
