BACKGROUND In female adolescents and young adults, malignancies of the genital tract are the most frequent type of cancer, closely followed by Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. CASE PRESENTATION We report an unusual case of sporadic Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) presenting with massive bilateral ovarian infiltration, peritoneal carcinomatosis and diffuse nodular lesions of the stomach and the ...

Ovarian metastasis was described the first time by Friedrich Ernst Krukenberg in 1896. Even if the historical timeline dates back to sir James Paget who had described the process in 1854 [1]. The tumor was metastazing from gastric cancer. Consequently, all metastatic ovarian cancers had been referred to as Krukenberg tumors [2]. Actually, Krukenberg tumors account for approximately 15% of malig...

Krukenbergtumor is a metastatic ovarian tumor with its primary site being the gastrointestinal tract. The pathogenesis of Krukenberg tumor formation is still in its hypothetical stage though the current understanding suggests lymphatic, hematogenous and transcoelomic route as the 3 major route of metastasis. There is a lack of description in the literature related to the pathway of metastasis. ...

Krukenberg tumors accompanied by gestational hypertension are rare and have a poor patient prognosis. A gravida 1, para 0 patient was submitted to Tianjin Medical University General Hospital (Tianjin, China) at 32 weeks gestation with symptoms of nausea, vomiting and hypertension. Diagnosis from the gastroscopic biopsy was of a gastric ulcer. A unilateral ovarian mass was identified with B-scan...

A 41-year-old female patient presented to our nuclear medicine department for initial staging of her known gastric cancer. A couple weeks earlier, the patient was diagnosed with a gastric cancer by endoscopic biopsy. She had complained of recent increasing abdominal and pelvic pain and was experiencing bloating, especially after meals. Physical examination showed nothing with the exception of s...

The diagnosis of Krukenberg tumors, as in other types of metastatic tumors of unknown primary origin, can often be a challenge for clinicians. In many cases, traditional diagnostic methods are insufficient, requiring immunohistochemistry analysis for identifying the origin of metastatic tumors. In our study, we examined a total of 34 female patients with Krukenberg tumors with different sites o...
