Sumario:A 55-year-old female who had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer visited the emergency department of our hospital owing to sudden lower abdominal pain and was found to have an ovarian tumor. An urgent laparoscopic resection of the right adnexa was performed with a diagnosis of ovarian tumor stalk torsion. Postoperative pathological diagnosis revealed ovarian metastasis of pancreatic cancer. Our case report demonstrates that an ovarian tumor on one side in a patient with advanced pancreatic cancer may represent ovarian metastasis of the primary tumor.
