Abstract
|
|
|
|
This tumor is relatively rare malignant disease of ovary, being almost always metastatic from the primary carcinoma elsewhere, especially in any portion of gastrointestinal tract, most frequently pylorus, but not infrequently the colon, rectum, small intestine, gallbladder, hepatic duct, breast, urinary bladder, cervix, endometrium and Fallopian tubes. It may be spread by way of the peritoneal fluid, lymphatic or hematogenous. The tumors are generally bilateral, solid, ovoid or kidney shaped. The diagnosis is dependent only on the histologic pattern, microscopically small nests or acini of epithelial cells are distributed throughout a fibrous or myomatous stroma and especially characteristic are "Signet Cells". This is a case of Krukenberg tumor in a 41-year-old female, whose primary site stomach, are presented. And its definition, history, incidence, pathology, clinical symptoms, and treatment are reviewed briefly.
