Ovarian cancer with metastatic inguinal lymphadenopathy: A case series and literature review
Background: Ovarian cancer is the 4th commonest cancer among Egyptian women. It can spread through 3 different lymphatic pathways to para-aortic/paracaval lymph nodes, to pelvic lymph nodes and only occasionally through the round ligament of the uterus to the inguinal nodes. These rare cases are sta...
