Abstract
Background Gastric metastasis from ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma is extremely rare. Case presentation We herein report one case of a 45-year-old female with ovarian carcinoma who underwent cytoreductive surgery. Two years later, endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration revealed gastric metastasis. The patient underwent laparoscopic resection of gastric metastases. She is currently in complete remission. Conclusion Gastric metastasis from ovarian cancer should not be ignored in the clinic.

Gastric metastasis from ovarian adenocarcinoma presenting as a subepithelial tumor and diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition. World J Gastrointest Oncol 2017; 9:452-456.

Abstract
We describe an uncommon case of a patient with a metastatic adenocarcinoma of ovarian origin presented as a gastric subepithelial tumor (SET) and that was diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB). Malignant gastric lesions are rarely metastatic and the primary tumor is mainly breast, lung, esophageal cancer or cutaneous melanoma. Gastric metastasis from ovarian cancer is unusual, presenting synchronously with the primary tumor but also several years later than the initial diagnosis. From an endoscopic point of view, gastric metastasis does not present specific features. They may mimic both a primary gastric tumor or, less frequently, an SET. This case demonstrates the importance of EUS-FNB in distinguishing SETs and how this may alter treatment and prognosis.

Abstract
Gastric metastasis from ovarian cancer is exceptionally rare and generally occurs in advanced stages. A 71-year-old woman presented with a solitary gastric submucosal mass 8 years after the diagnosis of a stage IA ovarian serous adenocarcinoma. Endoscopy showed a tumor covered with normal gastric mucosa. Initially, a gastrointestinal stromal tumor was suspected, but biopsy revealed a histology of invasive micropapillary carcinoma, similar to the histological findings of the previously resected ovarian tumor. Clinicians should consider that in patients with a submucosal tumor and a history of ovarian cancer, gastric lesions may be secondary metastases from ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly malignant cancer, which can invade the portal vein and cause liver/long bone metastasis, although digestive tract metastatic tumor from the liver is very rare. This case report describes an unusual case of HCC (clear cell type), determined by pathology of the original liver tumor resected on March 16th, 2004. The patient returned to our hospital in February and July 2009 complaining of 'black stool' in the first instance, and 'anemia' on the second occasion. Colonoscopy and gastroscopy indicated colon cancer and stomach cancer, respectively. The right half colon and distal stomach were resected, and pathological inspection revealed liver cancer metastasis. The patient succumbed to respiratory failure due to liver cancer lung metastasis on the May 23rd, 2013. Tests for CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio, in addition to the expression of Fas, Fas ligand (FasL), indicated an evident difference in patient immunity during the tumor metastasis period. The disease progression in this patient suggested that immune surveillance may have been involved in the metastases. Furthermore, this case shows that clinicians should be alert to the possibility of metastases in uncommon sites that may be misdiagnosed as primary tumors. Surgical resection remains a valuable treatment for isolated digestive tract metastasis from liver cancer.

Abstract
Gastric metastasis from ovarian carcinoma is extremely rare and the prognosis for patients is poor. We report a case of multimodal treatment improving the survival time of a patient with gastric metastasis from ovarian cancer. A 73-year-old woman with known serous ovarian cancer was admitted to the hospital due to epigastric pain and dyspepsia. On esophagogastroduodenoscopy, a protruding mass was noted at the gastric antrum. She underwent distal gastrectomy with Billroth I anastomosis and lymph node dissection, including the para-aortic lymph nodes. The final pathology revealed gastric metastasis from ovarian serous adenocarcinoma. In this case, after cytoreductive surgery, chemotherapy was performed each time a recurrence was diagnosed, and remission was accomplished. She survived for 108 months after the first diagnosis of the metastatic tumor in the stomach. Multimodal treatment of metastatic lesions since the first diagnosis allowed the patient to survive longer than those in previous reports.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is frequent and recurrence happens in about 75% of patients. As it presents high rates of relapse, the exams for this diagnosis are widely discussed. Beside this, there have been discussions about benefits for early anatomic diagnosis and whether endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) can be used to track the relapse of the disease. We present a case, in which anatomic location and histological definition of an asymptomatic recurrence of the ovarian cancer was misdiagnosed with conventional methods, but was possible through EUS.

Abstract
Although ovarian metastasis secondary to gastric cancer (Krukenberg tumor) has been extensively described in the literature, gastric metastasis from ovarian carcinoma is rare. The present case report describes a patient with gastric metastasis from ovarian carcinoma. A 51-year-old female with previously treated ovarian carcinoma of stage III according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics was admitted to the Department of Oncology, First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Nanjing, China) with high serum carbohydrate antigen-125 levels. Endoscopic ultrasound and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography scanning revealed a lesion in the stomach with the typical appearance of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. The histopathological examination revealed infiltration of the resected specimens by metastatic serous adenocarcinoma and a comparison with the previously resected ovarian specimen confirmed disease recurrence. Although isolated gastric recurrence from ovarian carcinoma is rare, when a patient has a history of ovarian carcinoma (particularly with a high CA-125 level) and when the imaging results show a mass in the stomach wall, metastasis from ovarian carcinoma should be considered.

Abstract
The metastasis of tumors to the stomach is rare, which underlies the clinical problems regarding their diagnosis and treatment. The present review summarizes the current knowledge regarding the clinicopathological characteristics, therapeutic strategies and outcomes for metastatic tumors in the stomach. The primary malignancies of the metastatic tumors in the stomach were most often breast cancers (27.9 %), followed by lung cancer (23.8 %), esophageal cancer (19.1 %), renal cell carcinoma (RCC; 7.6 %) and malignant melanoma (7.0 %). In cases of breast cancer and RCC as the primary malignancy, the median interval between the treatment of the primary tumor and diagnosis of the metastatic tumor in the stomach (IPM) was 50-78 and 75.6 months, respectively, highlighting the fact that the metastatic spread to the stomach may occur many years after the initial treatment of the cancer. In nine patients with metastatic gastric tumors arising from ovarian cancer, an endoscopic examination revealed submucosal tumors in six patients (66.7 %), with a median IPM of 30 months. Appropriate systemic treatment for these tumors is the preferred therapeutic strategy. Although solitary metachronous gastric metastasis several years after treatment of the primary tumor is an exceptionally rare event, surgical resection of metastatic gastric tumors may be recommended to control hemorrhaging or for selected tumors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Metastasis from ovarian cancer occurs frequently through the peritoneal cavity in the form of peritoneal carcinomatosis; isolated gastric metastasis is rarely reported in literature. PRESENTATION OF CASE We present a case of 43-year-old infertile lady, who developed a picture of acute abdomen four days post total abdominal hysterectomy and salpingoopherectomy for ovarian cancer. Further contrast-enhanced CT scan demonstrated massive free gas and fluid in the abdomen. She underwent antrectomy with truncal vagotomy due to 3cm×4cm prepyloric gastric ulcer. Final pathology proved the presence of metastatic serous cystadenocarcinoma of ovarian origin. DISCUSSION Our patient had a gastric perforation secondary to ovarian metastasis. Being isolated, the absence of ascites and the transmural nature of the gastric metastasis suggest haematogenous spread .To the best of our knowledge perforated gastric metastasis secondary to ovarian cancer was not reported in literature before. CONCLUSION Gastric metastasis should be kept in mind in patients with a well-known ovarian cancer who present with gastric lesions, ulcers, bleeding or perforation.

Abstract
An isolated parenchymal gastric metastasis from ovarian carcinoma without any other sites of recurrence is extremely rare. Only two cases have been reported, both of which were symptomatic. We herein report such a case without any symptoms. A 61-year-old woman presented with a high cancer antigen-125 level without any other clinical manifestation. A subsequent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan revealed a submucosal mass with hypermetabolism of 18F-FDG (standardized uptake value: 5.36) in the gastric antrum. The final pathology after gastric antrectomy showed a metastatic gastric tumor from a primary ovarian carcinoma. We also performed an extensive literature review about gastric metastasis from ovarian carcinoma published until recently, and this is the first case of an isolated parenchymal gastric metastasis from ovarian carcinoma without any symptoms.

Abstract
A 59-year-old lady was referred for an open-access endoscopy with a history of dyspepsia. The endoscopy showed a 5 mm sessile nodule in the fundus of the stomach. The histology report suggested that this represented a metastatic deposit from renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Following this, a computerised tomography (CT) of the abdomen showed an 18 × 15 cm RCC. Here we provide a short review on gastric metastases.

Abstract
AIM: To discuss the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of metastatic carcinoma to the stomach from different primary sites.
METHODS: Ten patients diagnosed with metastatic carcinoma to the stomach at our hospital from January 1990 to January 2010 were included in the study. The clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of metastatic carcinoma to stomach from different primary sites were analyzed.
RESULTS: Esophageal cancer was the most common primary tumor. The patients usually had a tumor history, and it was difficult to distinguish between secondary and primary gastric cancer because of their similar clinical manifestations. The diagnosis depended mainly on a tumor history and histopathological examination. The prognosis was poor, and their median survival time was 9.5 months. Early diagnosis and timely operation might improve prognosis.
CONCLUSION: Metastatic carcinoma to the stomach is a kind of extremely rare secondary carcinoma and is difficult to differentiate from primary gastric cancer. The diagnosis is dependent on a tumor history and histopathological examination, and operation should be made a priority for treatment.

Abstract
Metastasis to the stomach from nongastric tumors is a rare event. We present a case of ovarian cancer metastasis to the gastric wall that presented as multiple subepithelial gastric lesions. A 55-year-old female with known stage III b serous ovarian cancer was admitted to the hospital with melena and anemia. A 1.5 to 2 cm subepithelial mass with superficial overlying erosion in the antrum was seen in Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Initial endoscopic mucosal biopsies were normal. An Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) was performed, which revealed two subepithelial lesions with the typical appearance of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) of both masses revealed papillary adenocarcinoma from an ovarian papillary serous adenocarcinoma. This is the first reported case of multiple gastric metastatic lesions from ovarian cancer diagnosed by EUS FNA.
