Abstract

We report about an emergency case of a female patient with terminal carcinoma of the ovary. On the basis of this case it becomes evident that palliative care questions are also important in emergency medicine. In this situation cooperation of the medical disciplines involved appears urgently necessary. This may allow the possibility for terminally ill patients to stay at home in the last days of life.
