Findings included widespread omental and peritoneal disease, ovarian tumour excrescences and no palpable lymphadenopathy. She was nulliparous with no previous abdominal surgery. She was optimally debulked (<1 cm residual disease), and an intraperitoneal (IP) port inserted. Histopathology confirmed bilateral ovarian high grade serous adenocarcinoma.
