Background: ovarian cancer is the 4th commonest cancer among egyptian women. it can spread through 3 different lymphatic pathways to para-aortic/paracaval lymph nodes,to pelvic lymph nodes and only occasionally through the round ligament of the uterus to the inguinal nodes. these rare cases are staged ivb on figo system. presentation: we present a series of 4 cases of ovarian cancer metastasizing to inguinal nodes. the literature review revealed only 17 published similar cases. management controversies as well as prognosis are discussed in our study. conclusion: inguinal metastasis from ovarian cancer seems more frequent than previously thought. examination of inguinal region should be mandatory in all cases diagnosed with ovarian cancer. © 2017 national cancer institute,cairo university
