Krukenberg metastasis from rectosigmoid carcinoma

Discussion:

Krukenberg tumor is a subtype of metastasis to the ovary, usually from colon and gastric cancer (followed by breast and lung) that contains mucin-secreting signet cells. The lesion is indistinguishable from primary ovarian neoplasm and hence the presence of gastric or colonic masses or mural thickening favor the diagnosis of Krukenberg tumor.
