A patient is described with a primary mucous adenocarcinoma of the appendix with bilateral Krukenberg tumours. On the basis of the available literature the value of diagnosing a Krukenberg tumour of the ovaries is elucidated. Finally the question is raised whether this matter should influence policy as regards colorectal tumours.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007725 Krukenberg Tumor Mucocellular carcinoma of the ovary, usually metastatic from the gastrointestinal tract, characterized by areas of mucoid degeneration and the presence of signet-ring-like cells. It accounts for 30%-40% of metastatic cancers to the ovaries and possibly 1%-2% of all malignant ovarian tumors. The lesions may not be discovered until the primary disease is advanced, and most patients die of their disease within a year. In some cases, a primary tumor is not found.
