Abstract
- Metastatic tumor to ovary are uncommon, but there is a situation in which a metastatic adenocarcinoma to ovary appears as a large mass and resembles a primary tumor: a Krukenberg tumor of ovary which has a signet ring histologic pattern and usually is metastatic principally from a gastrointestinal tract cancer. We have an experience of one case of metastatic Krukenberg tumor from stomach and report the case with brief review of literature.
