When calcified lesions in the liver or spleen are found during follow-up of patients who have undergone debulking surgery and chemotherapy for advanced ovarian carcinoma, it is very difficult to differentiate recurrent cancer from secondary change after chemotherapy. We present here a patient in whom calcified lesions in the liver and spleen were diagnosed as malignancy on the basis of a preoperative PET study. Malignancy was confirmed by histologic examination after surgery.
