Abstract
-
Metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma of the ovary is an extremely rare ovarian tumors and may cause a diagnostic problem. This tumor was first described by Ooartman and Elliot in 1983. The differential diagnosis in cases of hepatocellular carcinoma metastatic to the ovary is with primary and metastatic hepatoid tumors of the ovary and diverse other tumors of the ovary composed of oxyphil cells, which may be primary or metastatic. We have experienced one case of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma of the ovary with brief review of the literature.
