Ovarian cancer is the most mortal gynecological malignancy among women worldwide. The appropriate treatment protocol is cytoreductive surgery and the main aim is to remove all primary carcinoma focus and all metastatic lesions. A 37 years old woman (gravida 5, para 3) presented with complaints of abdominal distension. During the gynecological examination, bilateral adnexal masses in the solid structure were observed. Staging surgery was performed and 8 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy regimen were given. A pathological axillary lymph node was detected in the positron emission tomography -computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging at the follow-up 6 months after the end of the chemotherapy regimen. The biopsy result from the axillary lymph node was reported as serous carcinoma metastasis. Metastasis of ovarian carcinoma to the axillary lymph node is uncommon and has a poor prognosis. High-grade ovarian serous carcinoma with axillary lymph node metastasis was presented in this case report.
