Abstract

Krukenberg tumor refers to gastrointestinal cancer metastatic to the ovaries, and has an extremely poor prognosis, with a five-year survival rate ranging from 12% to 23.4%. Gastric cancer has been reported as the most frequent primary source of Krukenberg tumor; however, tumors of the colon, appendix, breast, lung, and pancreas have also been reported to metastasize into the ovaries. Krukenberg tumors are usually seen in the fifth decade of life, with an average age of 45 years and cases diagnosed during pregnancy are thus extremely rare. They are bilateral in 80% of the cases. Here, we report a case of a Krukenberg tumor secondary to colon carcinoma in a pregnant woman with acute pelvic pain. The prenatal diagnosis was made at 17 weeks’ gestation.
