Introduction Ovarian cancer (OC) is the seventh most commonly diagnosed cancer among women. OC accounts for an estimated 239,000 new cases and 152,000 deaths worldwide annually and accounts for an estimated 239,000 new cases with 152,000 deaths worldwide annually. However, the survival rate may vary according to the different disease histological types, clinical characteristic and metastasis site.

Methods This is a descriptive study using secondary data from medical records at Dr M Djamil Central Hospital of Padang, a referral hospital in West Sumatra, Indonesia. We grouped the histological types into serous, mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell, pure sex stromal tumour, and germ cell type to compare with metastasis site and clinical characteristic of the patient.

Results Of the total 68 patients, the majority age was over 60 years (50%). The most common histopathological type was the mucinous type (32.4%). We also grouped histopathological types based on age and found that the oldest mean age was found in the endometrioid type (52.67 ± 5.39 years), while the youngest mean age was found in the germ cell tumour type (37.75 ± 16.37 years). The endometrioid type is the type that most frequently experiences metastases (66.67%). The most common locations for metastases are in the bowel omentum and uterus.

Conclusion/Implications The age of the majority of OC patients in West Sumatra is over 60 years, where the most common histological type is the mucinous type and most frequently metastases site in uterus and omentum
