The metastatic ovarian tumors constitute 3 to 8% of all and 10 to 30% of malignant ovarian tumors. The common primary sites for metastatic disease to the ovaries include the colon stomach, breast and the genitoürinary tract. Hematolojic malignancies, including lymhoma and leukemia, also involve the ovaries. Clinical history, tumor markers, tumor morphological-histological features and imaging features are useful to distinguish secondary ovarian tumors from primary ovarian tumors. Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) provides useful information for characterization of various ovarian benign or malign masses. The use of MRI for diagnosis of ovarian masses includes consideration of morphologic characteristics and signal intensity characteristics on T1 and T2-weighted images. It is important to determine the ovarian metastasis due to change the method of treatment. İn this case we present MRI an ultrasound findings of bilateral ovarian metastasis of lobular breast cancer.
