Abstract | BACKGROUND: The present study was conducted to determine the frequency and clinicopathological features of ovarian metastasis in a large population of patients with stage Ib-IIb cervical cancer. METHODS: RESULTS: Fifty-two patients (1.50%) had ovarian metastases: 6 in stage Ib1, 12 in stage Ib2, 5 in stage IIa, and 29 in stage IIb. The mean age of patients with ovarian metastasis was 49.9 years (range: 29-73 years). The incidence of ovarian metastasis in patients with cervical cancer was 0.22% for stage Ib, 0.75% for stage IIa, and 2.17% for stage IIb with squamous cell carcinoma, and 3.72%, 5.26%, and 9.85%, respectively, in adenocarcinoma. Ovarian metastasis occurred more frequently among patients with adenocarcinoma than among those with squamous cell carcinoma (5.31% vs. 0.79%). Outcome for patients with ovarian metastasis was very poor and not related to FIGO stage and histological type. The presence of ovarian metastasis did not correlate with lymph node involvement or parametrial invasion. CONCLUSION:
