Abstract
While angiosarcoma metastatic to the ovary is rare, metastatic angiosarcoma to an ovarian tumor has never been reported in the literature, so far. We report a case of a 61-yr-old postmenopausal woman with history of breast cancer, presenting with metastatic angiosarcoma to an ovarian Brenner tumor. Initially at the frozen section examination, on limited sampling, and without knowledge of the patient's history, a diagnosis of at least proliferating Brenner tumor was rendered. Upon review of permanent sections, an intermixed angiosarcoma component was identified within Brenner tumor. Tumor to ovarian tumor metastasis is a rare phenomenon, with only 18 cases reported in the last 50 yr. It poses diagnostic challenges during sampling and histopathologic interpretation. Detailed clinical history, careful gross examination and sampling are important to recognize the separate tumor components.
