Cutaneous metastases, due to ovarian carcinoma as a presenting feature, being diagnosed on cytology, are uncommonly reported. Case Report: A 70-year-old lady presented with a cutaneous nodule and progressive abdominal distension. Investigations for metastatic nodule showed it to be a lesion from the ovary. Discussion: Carcinoma ovary is often diagnosed when patients present with ascites and the association with a parietal wall deposit is uncommon. The occurrence of a parietal wall nodule when the ascites is negative for malignant cells is not previously documented. Conclusion: We discuss literature of the malignancies that present with a parietal wall metastases and the management of ovarian carcinoma.展开更多

They belong to Ewings family of tumours and the primitive neuroectodermal tumour is often diagnosed based on immuno histochemistry and molecular genetic studies. Discussion: A 50-year-old gentleman presented with complaints of a swelling in the right thigh. With a diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma, the patient underwent a wide local excision of the tumour. We review literature of the small round blue cell tumour. Conclusion: Extraosseous Ewings sarcoma presenting as a thigh swelling is uncommon. The sarcoma was vimentin positive and CD99 membrane positivity.展开更多
