Popis:	The majority of patients with an advanced-stage ovarian cancer relapse within approximately 18 months after completion of the first-line therapy. Recurrent ovarian cancer commonly presents as peritoneal seeding, while other distant sites are anywhere includ- ing the pleura, liver, lung, central nervous system, spleen, skin, bone, and breast. As pulmonary metastases usually occur through hematogenous or lymphangitic routes, the pattern of the metastases of ovarian cancer is multiple and scattered diffusely. The soli- tary pulmonary metastasis of ovarian cancer is an extremely rare condition, thus it can be misdiagnosed as a primary lung cancer, unless physician has a clinical suspicion. Herein, we introduce a case of solitary pulmonary metastasis of ovarian cancer which oc- curred 9 years after the curative surgery and chemotherapy.
