A member asked:

What does a drop metastasis mean ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

unusual term!: It is something, used when there is a tumor in a lower organ(like in ovary) when the starting organ is located high up in the abdomen, like it can be from stomach cancer. But it is not always an exact term in its causation.
