Ramandeep Singh, Sapna M Bhatty

Abstract :

Introduction-Stomach is the primary site in the majority (75%) of Krukenberg tumor followed by colon, appendix, and east carcinoma. It is a rare metastatic signet ring cell tumor of the ovary, accounting for 1-2% of all ovarian tumors. Case presentation-We present a case of 48 years postmenopausal female who presented in Radiotherapy OPD with complaint of pain abdomen, constipation. Ca 125 was 761.2. Gastric biopsy shows signet ring cell carcinoma. Now the patient is to be planned for chemotherapy. Conclusion-Most of these cases originate from gastric adenocarcinoma, followed by the colon. The involvement of the ovary may be due to retrograde lymphatic spread. Peritoneal dissemination demonstrated as an adverse factor affecting survival. Through this case, we conclude that Krukenberg tumor of the ovary is a rare metastatic tumor with most commonly gastrointestinal tract being the primary carcinoma.
