    Abstract:
    The results of evaluation of the data on autopsies for stomach cancer provided by the pathology departments of the hospitals of Leningrad (1975-1979) and Petrozavodsk (1965-1979) are presented. Metastases into ovaries were found in 98 cases. i.e. 3.5% of the total number of autopsies which revealed stomach cancer (2,823) and 7.4% of the autopsies performed in patients who died from stomach cancer (1,320). The rates of incidence of gastric cancer metastases into ovaries appeared to be nearly half those reported for Leningrad hospitals for the previous period (1952-1969) by S. I. Kulinich. Moreover, mortality rates for cases of metastases into ovaries tend to increase considerably in the older age groups: deaths at the age of 50 and older (up to 97 years) amounted to 73.5% of cases. The said alterations are regarded as a manifestation of pathomorphism of stomach cancer.
