Ovarian metastases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma: clinical presentation, role of surgery, and potential value of the mutational profile for the differential diagnosis with primary mucinous ovarian carcinoma

Background: Ovarian metastases (OM) of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) (OM-PA) can mimic primary ovarian mucinous carcinoma (POMC) on imaging and histology. These metastases are often symptomatic and not highly chemosensitive, so that oophorectomy may be considered. Aims: The aims of this study were to compare the characteristics of OM-PA and POMC, and discuss the role of surgery. Patients and Methods: Clinical, imaging, and histological data of...
