  • Title: Port site metastasis from synchronous primaries of the colon and ovary following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
    Author: Rieger N, McIntosh N.
    Journal: Eur J Surg Oncol; 1998 Apr; 24(2):144-5. PubMed ID: 9591032.
    Abstract:
    We report two cases of port site metastasis as the presenting feature of colonic and ovarian carcinoma after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Cholecystectomy was performed for upper abdominal pain and gallstones. Six and 4 months after the operation the patients presented with nodules at port sites, other than the site of extraction. Biopsy proved both to be adenocarcinoma and further management found these to be from advanced caecal and ovarian carcinomas.
