Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer death in women, usually presenting with metastasis to intraperitoneal organs. Metastases beyond the abdominal cavity at initial presentation are rare, especially in cases involving the breast and/or axillary lymph node. Axillary metastases from ovarian carcinoma are usually present with breast metastasis. However, isolated axillary lymph node metastases without breast involvement have been detected (1). This report illustrates a rare case of a solitary axillary metastasis from ovarian cancer without breast involvement. We focus on the radiologic features of axillary lymph nodes to help differentiate benign from metastasis and discuss the importance of accurate diagnosis for axillary lesions with underlying ovarian malignancy.
