Examination for liver and bone metastases was performed in 30 women suffering from carcinoma of the uterus and in 27 with cervical and 37 with ovarian carcinoma. Scintigraphy was the examination method of choice in bone metastases and computed tomography in liver metastases. Bone metastases were not seen in any patient in the stages I to IV with carcinoma of the cervix and ovarian carcinoma. Bone metastases were found in one patient in stage III and in one in stage IV with carcinoma of the uterus. Liver metastases were found in four patients in stages III and IV with carcinoma of the uterus and in five patients with ovarian carcinoma.
