Abstract

Skin metastasis is a rare form of ovarian carcinoma spread and is associated with widespread disease and a poor prognosis. The authors present a case of a patient, with a past history of ovarian clear cell carcinoma, who presented with subcutaneous nodules as the first sign of recurrent metastatic disease.
