Sumario:We herein report a case of recurrence of epithelial ovarian carcinoma 41 years after the primary surgery that was diagnosed by an endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB). The differential diagnosis based on the imaging findings was difficult. We performed an EUS-FNB and compared the EUS-FNB specimen to the surgical specimen that had been resected in the primary surgery for ovarian carcinoma 41 years earlier, including immunohistochemical staining. Finally, we made a definitive diagnosis of extremely late recurrence of ovarian carcinoma of the retroperitoneum. An EUS-FNB enables an accurate histological diagnosis by obtaining a sample that is large enough to perform immunohistochemical staining.
