Opening of the article

Serous psammomacarcinoma of ovary is a rare and infrequently described variant of ovarian cancer, characterized histologically by the presence of psammoma bodies.It is a rare ovarian tumor with classic radiological findings of multiple calcified lesions in the abdomen and pelvis.Till date, only 28 case reports have been published. We present the imaging features in one such case where there was a mass arising from ovary as well as metastases to the peritoneum and liver surface, the ligamentum teres, the lesser sac, and both paracolic regions, along with calcified deposits in the subcutaneous region, which have been rarely described.
