Reported are three cases of serous papillary cystoadenocarcinoma of the ovary with pleural and pulmonary calcified metastatic implants detected by computed tomography (CT), but not by chest X-ray. CT patterns of metastatic calcifications were considered because of the unexpected frequency of this finding (15.7%) and in view of a possible clinical use of CT in monitoring extraabdominal disease.

Abstract
Reported are three cases of serous papillary cystoadenocarcinoma of the ovary with pleural and pulmonary calcified metastatic implants detected by computed tomography (CT), but not by chest X-ray. CT patterns of metastatic calcifications were considered because of the unexpected frequency of this finding (15.7%) and in view of a possible clinical use of CT in monitoring extraabdominal disease.File in questo prodotto:
