    Author: Ezem BU, Osuagwu CC, Onyiaorah IV.
    Journal: Niger J Clin Pract; 2010 Sep; 13(3):336-7. PubMed ID: 20857797.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To report a case of cancer of the colon which presented as secondaries to the ovaries. METHOD: Case report. SUMMARY: The case presented is that of a 39-year-old female who presented with lower abdominal pain and a multinodular pelvic mass which led to an initial diagnosis of multiple uterine fibroids and pelvic inflammatory disease. The presence of a colonic mass was first suggested by ultrasound. Laparotomy revealed carcinoma of the colon with bilateral krukenberg's tumour and an insignificant fibroleiomyoma. CONCLUSION: This case is reported to alert practitioners that all multinodular pelvic masses should not be assumed to be multiple fibroids.
