Abstract
Ascites in ovarian cancer is a common complication. Abdominal effusion may occur in the first stage of tumour development, in advanced disease, and may manifest recurrence after radical treatment. If surgery is performed, abdominal flushes and a peritoneal biopsy must be taken to detect malignant cells - it is so common for ovarian tumours to coexist with peritoneal metastases.
