Popis: Background: The pathological differential diagnosis between primary and metastatic ovarian malignant tumors is usually difficult, specially for tumors originating in the gastrointestinal system or breast. Aim: To define an immunohistochemical flow chart to discriminate these tumor types. Material and methods: We performed a immunostaining analysis using a panel of six antibodies (CK 7, CA 125, CEA, CK20, BRST-2 and CA 15-3) in 3 tumor groups: 11 ovarian, 14 breast and 12 colonic primary tumors and in a study group of 38 ovarian tumors whose primary origin was unknown. Results: We defined an ovarian immunohistochemical pattern (CEA-/CK20-, 45% in ovarian tumors, 0% in breast or colonic tumors, p
