Résumé
The small bowel is an uncommon site for cancer metastasis. Despite this, cases have reported the duodenum as a metastatic site from local organs. However, duodenal involvement from more distant organs, such as the ovaries, has rarely been reported. Herein, we present a case of a 68-year-old female who developed duodenal metastatic disease from a primary ovarian serous adenocarcinoma. The goal of this report is to encourage clinicians to keep a broad differential in patients complaining of abdominal pain, especially in those with a history of primary ovarian malignancy.
