[Ovarian cancer in ovarian remnant syndrome?].

We report on a malignant pelvic tumour in a 69-year old woman, whose uterus and adnexa had been removed 22 years ago because of endometriosis. Clinical and pathological findings pointed to an ovarian cancer in an ovarian remnant syndrome. In a case of a carcinoma, it is difficult to furnish proof of an ovarian remnant syndrome. Differential diagnoses, especially the ureteral adenocarcinoma, are discussed.
