Abstract

Ovarian metastasis from non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a rare condition. The current study presents the cases of 2 female patients aged 38 and 47 years old, respectively, who were initially diagnosed with NSCLC adenocarcinoma on histology. Both patients initially presented with chest pain and a cough, and subsequently developed ovarian metastases following multiple treatments. The 38‑year old patient exhibited an epidermal growth factor receptor mutation, confirmed by scorpion/amplified refractory mutation system analysis from a lung biopsy. The 47‑year old exhibited an anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase (ALK) rearrangement, revealed by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of the breast tissue biopsy, confirming a diagnosis of ALK rearrangement‑positive NSCLC. These patients developed ovarian metastasis in the course of the disease. The current study reports the diagnostic challenges and clinical management of the disease, and provides a review of the literature.
