Inclusion criteria

* Patients with adnexal mass diagnosed with high suspicion of malignancy that will undergo intraoperative biopsy or patients with already diagnosed epithelial cancer in early stages in a previous surgery and confirmed by pathology with complete staging indicated. * Absence of retroperitoneal ganglionary affectation and metastatic disease evaluated by preoperative imaging techniques. * Signing of informed consent by the patient or relative in charge. * Women with childbearing potential must compromise to use highly effective contraceptive methods (partner vasectomized, sexual abstinence) until the end of the study (last study visit).

Exclusion criteria

* Patients \<18 years * Pregnancy or breastfeeding * Epithelial ovarian tumors stage FIGO III or IV. * Impossibility to obtain a biopsy from the tumor. * History of previous vascular surgery (cava vein, aorta, iliac blood vessels) or radiotherapy in pelvic or para-aortic area. * Sentinel lymph node biopsy will not be performed if intraoperative histologic study shows a benign ovarian tumor, low malignancy potential tumor or expansive mucinous histology. * Patient not able to undergo surgery. * Hypersensitivity to active principle, to sodium iodide or iodine allergy. * Patients with clinic hyperthyroidism, thyroid autonomous adenomas or focal and diffused autonomous alteration of thyroid gland
