Abstract

The authors present a case report of a female patient with 49 years old, admitted in the hospital ward with multiple lymphadenopathies and respi­ratory symptoms in which the diagnosis of serous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary was made by the post-mortem examination. The clinicai picture was related with the presence of vast lymphatic disse­ mination mostly upper-diaphragmatic, which is un­ usual in this type of neoplasm.
