A subcutaneous mass in the anterior region of the thorax, (presternal region).Subcutaneous metastases in ovarian cancer are rare, occurring in 0.9% to 5.8% of cases. They are usually a late manifestation that arises several years after the initial diagnosis and often serve as a poor prognostic indicator. Their presence suggests a reported median survival ranging from 3 to 18 months.subcutaneous metastases can be categorized into umbilical metastases, commonly referred to as Sister Joseph's nodules (SJN) the most prevalent type, and non-SJN cutaneous metastases.We present the unusual case of a 57-year-old woman who underwent surgical intervention and received adjuvant chemotherapy for serous ovarian adenocarcinoma. She presented for consultation 5 years later with a painful presternal mass, and the histopathological examination of the mass revealed a metastasis of the primary ovarian tumor. |
