bilateral ovarian metastasis of a klatskin tumor: a rare case

Metastatic carcinomas of the ovary have an important place in all ovarian cancers and tumors. They can originate from many organs and systems and may metastasize to the ovary. The most common primary origin of metastasis is the gastrointestinal tract and then breast tissue. Cholangiocellular carcinomas involving the junction of the right and left bile ducts are called Klatskin tumors, and their metastases to the ovaries are very rare. A woman aged 54 years who had been treated previously for Klatskin tumor was admitted to our clinic due to bilateral ovarian masses and high serum calcium 19-9 levels. The preoperative approach, operative, and postoperative management of Klatskin tumor is presented.
