Article Synopsis
- Epithelial ovarian cancer is common and typically has a poor prognosis, often involving metastases, but bilateral primary ovarian cancer is rare.
- A 47-year-old Japanese woman underwent surgery for abdominal pain and was found to have two different types of tumors: an endometrioid carcinoma on the right and a high-grade serous carcinoma on the left.
- This case may represent the first documented instance of primary bilateral ovarian cancer, highlighting the need for careful subtype differentiation through immunostaining in similar cases.
