At line 44-45 ‘Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) usual 44 sites of metastases include the bones, liver and lymph nodes’ should be checked.

At line 54-55 ‘Fibromas are common benign stromal ovarian sex-cord stromal tumors diagnosed 54 representing 4% of all ovarian tumors’ should be checked … diagnosed is not necessary 

At line 57-59 sentence should be rewritten  

There are some sentences that have English language writing problem.   

 

Paragraph regarding literature database for systematic review (in discussion) should be written in section of material method and also figure 5 should be taken to material method.

 

In table 2, It has been reported that the incidence of ovarian metastases from breast cancer was 3-30% according to the literature belong Bigorie V et all 2010. But there is no any result for metastatic ovarian cancer incidence of this study. It should be checked 

Also some case reports in this table have incidence results. It does not make sense that a case report provides an incidence result. 

 

At line 170-171 ‘On ultrasound examination, fibromas show similar- 170 ities with leiomyomas, and the aspects of ascites fluid’ In this sentence, what is the mean of the aspects of ascites fluid. Should be checked
