ABSTRACT

The Krukenberg tumor is a fibroma of digestive origin and presents metastasis to ovary, the highest incidence its between 30 and 40 years. Malignant tumors of the ovary of 3 to 6% correspond to metastatic tumors. The rapid growth is the main characteristics of this, approximately 60 to 80% occur bilaterally. Microscopically presented mucous material wealth in the form of seal ring. Adenocarcinoma of the colon is the tumor that mostly simulates primary carcinoma of ovary; from 10 to 30% of women with carcinoma of colon will present a secondary tumor focus in ovary. Case report: Female 41 years with generalized abdominal pain and vomiting, performs ultrasound finding 11 cm left ovary-dependent mass. Laparoscopy showing green and abundant liquid in cavity, peritoneal implants in bladder, SAC and omentum; liquid and node in omentum is taken, they are sent and it reports metastatic adenocarcinoma. We proceed to laparotomy for cytoreduction. Report definitive histopathological primary moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the colon metastatic to ovary, “Krukenberg tumor”. Today patient continues treatment with oncology-based chemotherapy, latest PET-CT study with data in connection with stable disease.
