Dissémination métastatique par voie hématogène d'un cancer épithélial de l'ovaire : à propos d'un cas

Epithelial carcinomas represent 80% of cancers. Dissemination of ovarian epithelial cancers is usually peritoneal and rarely hematogenous. The case at hand concerns the hematogenous transmission of an ovarian epithelial cancer with cystic rectal metastasis. The cytology test shows no evidence of peritoneal carcinomatosis. The immunohistochemistry test confirms the primary ovarian cancer with rectal metastasis and the presence of vascular emboli. This clinical study describes one of the rare forms of dissemination of epithelial cancers. Hematogenous transmission should not be confused with dissemination through accessory lymphatic routes.
