Contrast-enhanced CT for differentiation of ovarian metastasis from gastrointestinal tract cancer: stomach cancer versus colon cancer

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2006 Sep;187(3):741-5. doi: 10.2214/AJR.05.0944.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of our study was to determine whether the CT findings of ovarian metastasis from stomach cancer differ from those of ovarian metastasis from colon cancer.

Conclusion: On contrast-enhanced CT scans, ovarian metastatic lesions from stomach cancer appear more solid than, more frequently have dense enhancement of the solid portion, and are smaller than ovarian metastatic lesions from colon cancer.
