Rare Presentation of a Krukenberg Tumor

Abstract

A Krukenberg tumor is a rare form of metastatic ovarian cancer. Distinctly identified by its histological appearance, a signet-ring cell, it is an uncommon and aggressive neoplasm commonly seen in pre-menopausal women. We present a rare case of a Krukenberg tumor seen in a 36-year-old Mexican female with no known past medical history. Treatment modalities for our patient included metastasectomy followed by multiple rounds of chemotherapy.
