Abstract

In this case report, we reported the details of a woman with stage I low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma recurrence. A 72-year-old woman presented with isolated para-aortic lymph node recurrence. In 2015, she underwent primary cytoreductive surgery. A pelvic/para-aortic lymphadenectomy was not performed during this primary surgery. PET CT Examination on December 2017 clearly demonstrated para-aortic 2.7x1.8 cm lymphadenopathy in the aortocaval region (SUV max: 24.09). This case report shows that importance of systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy in the management of low-grade serous ovarian cancer.
