AB Metastases  to  the  genital  tract  may  occur  as  a  result  of  recognizable  widely  disseminated  disease  from  another  site  or  as  an  isolated  lesion.  In  the  latter  case,  it  may  be  difficult  to  distinguish  between  a  primary  tumor  of  the  gynecologic  tract  or  metastases  to  the  gynecologic  tract  from  a  nongynecologic  site.  Because  treatment  planning  and  appropriateness  of  surgery  may  be  dictated  by  the  primary  site  of  the  tumor,  it  is  important  to  make  the  distinction  between  primary  and  metastatic  disease.  This  chapter  focuses  on  common  sites  of  metastases  to  the  gynecologic  tract,  characteristic  clinical  presentations,  and  radiologic  and  pathologic  considerations  that  may  be  clinically  helpful  in  treatment  planning.
