Presence of ovarian metastasis is associated with a poor prognosis in nongenital cancers. Surgery is essential for diagnosis of primary tumor and necessary for relief of symptoms. Cytoreductive surgery seems to have a beneficial effect on survival of selected patients, especially for patients with colorectal cancer metastatic to the ovary.
