Abstract

We present a case of ovarian metastasis secondary to a renal cell carcinoma, in a female patient aged 35 years old, assisted the consultation for abdominal tumor a year after being operated of a left renal cell carcinoma by videolaparoscopic surgery. In the studies made we confirmed a bilateral ovarian tumor. In the histopathologic study we confirmed the renal primary tumor as metastatic. The ovaries are common places of intrabdominal metastasis; around the 6 % of the ovarian cancer is secondary to primary tumors in the stomach, colon, mammas and lymphomas. The ovarian metastasis of a renal cell carcinoma is very infrequent.
