Metastatic colorectal carcinoma mimicking primary ovarian carcinoma presenting as ‘giant’ovarian tumors in an individual with probable Lynch syndrome: a case report. Journal of Medical Case Reports, 7(1), 1-7.https://doi.org/10.1186/1752-1947-7-1581752-1947https://nru.uncst.go.ug/handle/123456789/8001Ovarian metastases occur in 3 to 8% of women with primary colon cancer. In the setting of a pre-existing colorectal carcinoma this would constitute a hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, Lynch 2 syndrome, accounting for 5 to 10% of colon cancer cases. We unveil a case of ‘giant’ ovarian tumors mimicking primary ovarian cancer; ostensibly the first reported in East Africa.enColorectal cancerHereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC)Lynch syndromePrimary ovarian cancerSubcutaneous metastasesArticle
