Krukenberg tumor is a rare form of metastatic ovarian cancer which accounts for less than 2% all tumor. mostly occurs after the age 40 years and rarely found in younger group. It usually presents with bilateral involvement ovaries. when primary already advanced. Here we are presenting case 22 old female from stomach.

Krukenberg tumor 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 as the 3 major routes of metastasis. We believe transcoelomic spread in association with ruptured ovary during the monthly proce...

BACKGROUND The Krukenberg tumor represents ovarian metastases associated with gastric cancer or other gastrointestinal malignancies. Histology shows typical mucus-production and numerous signet-ring cells. Occasionally Krukenberg tumors have endocrine function and, as a consequence, some patients demonstrate hirsutism and virilization. CASE PRESENTATION Here we report a case of virilization a...

UNLABELLED Colorectal cancer most commonly metastasizes to the liver and lung. Metastatic colon carcinoma (MCC) to the breast is extremely rare. Krukenberg tumor is an uncommon metastatic tumor of the ovary. CASE PRESENTATION A 38 years woman presented with abdominal pain. In evaluation colon cancer was diagnosed at stage 3. FOLFOX chemotherapy was done. After one year she developed Krukenber...

The Authors present six cases of ovarian neoplasm with histological characteristics of typical Krukenberg tumor. Usually, Krukenberg Tumor is bilateral and often secondary to gastrointestinal carcinomas. Secondary ovarian neoplasms often become evident a short time after the diagnosis of primary tumor. Moreover, the post ovulatory rearrangement of the ovarian surface could favour the metastatic...

We evaluated the diagnostic value of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 beta (HNF-1β) and napsin A for diagnosing ovarian clear cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemical EnVision was used to measure HNF-1β and napsin A expression in 38 cases of ovarian clear cell carcinoma, 30 cases of high-grade serous carcinoma, 22 cases of endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and 16 metastatic Krukenberg tumor cases. Then we fou...

BACKGROUND Krukenberg tumor is a well-known ovarian metastasis, usually of signet ring cell carcinoma in female patients. In the literature, there are a few documented cases of ocular metastasis in patients with Krukenberg tumor. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 35-year-old single Moroccan woman. She presented chronic pelvic pain, hematemesis and blurring of vision in the left eye. C...

Krukenberg tumor is an interesting and rare tumor which usually but not always is metastatic. Ovaries more than any other genital pelvic organs are the site of metastasis. Endometrium, gastrointestinal tract and breast are the most common primary sites. The best method of treatment is surgery. Postoperatively, radiotherapy and chemotherapy must be performed. 3 cases of Krukenberg tumor dia...
