A rare case of a 46-year-old woman with bilateral Krukenberg tumours is reported. Histologically, oedematous ovarian stroma was infiltrated by signet-ring cells arranged singly, in cords or in nests. Immunoreactivity for cytokeratin-7, carcinoembryonic antigen as well as histochemical positivity for mucins demonstrated the epithelial nature of the tumour. The gastric primary site was suggested ...

Diffuse gastric carcinoma (DGC) is histologically characterized by increased intracellular mucin production, leading to a “signet ring cell differentiation” in tumor cells. Signet-ring tumor cells are often rapidly progressive in nature, with tumor cells diffusely infiltrating the stomach, leading to desmoplasia and thickening of the gastric wall (linitis plastica). Like intestinal gastric carc...

Burkitt’s Lymphoma (BL) is a rare monoclonal proliferation of Blymphocytes and is classified as a poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma. It is highly aggressive. Symptoms are caused by rapid turnover of the mature B lymphocytes and the involvement of extranodal sites and invasion of adjacent organs. This tumor was first noted in Africans. The cause of this tumor is debatable, but strong ev...

Krukenberg tumours are rare metastatic tumours of the ovaries characterized by the presence of mucin-producing neoplastic Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma (SRCC). At first glance, this tumour may be confused with a primary ovarian tumour. Surgery and chemotherapy combination have led to improvement in prognosis, but it still remains severe. We report the case of a 60-year-old woman with a Krukenberg ...

Objective. Krukenberg tumors in pregnancy are very rare and their management can present a dilemma for the obstetrician gynecologist. Case Report. We present the case of a G3P2002 who presented to us and the 38 weeks gestation with bilateral massive Krukenberg tumors. Despite at surgery and chemotherapy she died 3 months postpartum. Conclusion. Early detection followed by surgery and chemothera...

AIM To determine the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing palliative surgery for Krukenberg tumors, including disease presentation, outcomes, and prognostic factors. METHODS This was a retrospective clinical study of all patients who underwent palliative surgery for Krukenberg tumors between January 2004 and December 2015. Patient information was obtained from inpatient and outpati...

In this study pigmented glaucoma was diagnosed in 29 out of 4350 patients suffering from glaucoma. In clinical analysis of those cases main attention was put on Krukenberg spindle with emphasis on the process and reason of its development. In all cases of Krukenberg spindle moderate myopia and myopic astigmatism were present. The main axis of the spindle lies in the principal meridian of cornea...
