ABSTRACT

Introduction: Krukenberg tumor is metastatic and it accounts for 1% to 2% of ovarian tumors. Stomach is the most common primary location in 70% of cases, followed by colon, appendix, and breast. The prognosis is poor and its evolution is rapid.
Objective: to describe a case of a patient with Krukenberg tumor.
Case presentation: a 53 year old woman was consulted due to menopausal bleeding in stains and lower abdomen pain. She had personal history of gastric carcinoma, gallstones, breast nodule and hypertension. Gynecologic sonographic study was performed with positive tumor markers for ovarian cancer and negative tumor markers.
Results: intraoperative finding: fibroid uterus and both ovaries were loculate, smooth surface coating of mucinous content with solid areas of color and adverse heterogeneous consistency was observed. Hysterectomy with oophorectomy was performed.
Conclusions: Krukenberg, metastatic ovarian tumor is a rare entity with poor prognosis after diagnosis. Still, resection of the metastatic lesion is the first recommendation which appears to improve survival, followed by palliative systemic therapy.
