Sternal and costal metastases from ovarian cancer are extremely rare. We present here a case of a 47-year-old woman with thoracic wall metastasis from serous–papillary ovarian carcinoma that occurred 3 years after the initial diagnosis, although the patient had received various regimens of intense platinum-based chemotherapy. Special emphasis is given to the effects of alkylating agents, such as cisplatin and carboplatin, on the pattern of tumor spread. We also discuss the possible mechanisms through which the biologic and metastatic behavior of this tumor is expressed.

Fatal lung fibrosis caused by paclitaxel toxicity has not been reported In this report, we describe the case of a 62-year-old woman who received six cycles of paclitaxel and carboplatin as combination chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer. Four weeks after the end of the chemotherapy she developed interstitial pneumonitis and irreversible lung fibrosis. Despite treatment with corticosteroids, she had rapid deterioration and died of respiratory failure. Pulmonary fibrosis is a complication of paclitaxel therapy that may occur despite treatments with corticosteroids. While reviewing the literature, we found few less severe pulmonary injuries after intravenous use of paclitaxel, but none of these cases had a fatal outcome. Physicians should keep in mind that taxanes such as paclitaxel have the potential to cause pneumonitis and lung fibrosis.

We report the case of a 62-year-old patient who developed a carcinomatous meningitis while on second-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. Cytologic analyses confirmed that carcinomatous cells of ovarian origin were present in cerebrospinal fluid. Carcinomatous meningitis is a very rare event in the natural history of ovarian carcinoma. We discuss the specificity of our case in the light of the literature. In addition, we present some relevant radiologic and pathologic documents illustrating this rare entity.
