[Min–Max]: time interval (month) between primary tumors and MOTs. {Median (IQR)}: median time interval (month) between detection of primary tumor and metastasis. Marked with #: one patient had unilateral MOT first before primary gastric cancer and then had gastric surgery and unilateral MOT surgery before MOT was found 7 months later on the other side. Min, minimum; Max, maximum; IQR, interquartile range; MOT, metastatic ovarian tumor; LPB, liver-pancreas-biliary.
