Abstract
The ovary is a common site of metastasis from various organs, especially of the gastrointestinal tract. However, little is known about gallbladder carcinoma metastasizing to ovaries. We report a case of metastatic gallbladder carcinoma which mimicked a primary ovarian tumour in a 41 year old North Indian woman. Clinically the patient presented with pain abdomen. Radiology suggested the possibility of a primary ovarian tumour. The gross features also mimicked the primary malignant ovarian tumour. Histopathological examination showed adenocarcinoma, bilateral ovaries with involvement of greater omentum. On IHC examination tumour cells were positive for CK7, CK19, CK 20 & CDX-2 which suggested the possible primary of the pancreaticobiliary region.
