Abstract
This report, based on 8 cases and a review of the literature, indicates that colonic cancer metastatic to the ovaries has many unusual features and an extremely high mortality rate. Prophylactic bilateral oophorectomy in conjunction with large bowel resection for cancer in women of all ages is advised to decrease morbidity and improve the quality of survival.Keywords
