The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of the serum CA-125 level for complete responders after 6 cycles of primary adjuvant paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. ⋯ The serum CA-125 level after 6 cycles of primary adjuvant paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy may be a good prognostic factor for survival in complete responders after 6 cycles of chemotherapy in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.

Metastatic involvement of the breast and the rectum from ovarian carcinoma are very rare events. ⋯ Accurate differential diagnosis from primary breast and rectal carcinoma is very important because the prognosis and treatment differ significantly.

Case Reports
Ewing's sarcoma and peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor in adults: different features of a rare neoplasm.
In adults, peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors (pPNETs) represent a rare and heterogeneous group of neoplasms exhibiting neuronal and glial differentiation. ⋯ As tumors of the EWS/pPNET family behave aggressively, rapid diagnosis is warranted. Since diagnosis of EWS/pPNET requires ancillary studies, it is necessary to consider it even in adult patients.
