Abstract

Krukenberg tumor has been traditionally defined as gastrointestinal malignancy metastatic to the ovary, and is known to account for 1 to 3% of ovarian neoplasms. The nature and behavior of this particularly virulent tumor still remains unclear. We have experienced a case of Krukenberg tumor with brain metastasis. A clinical description of our case is presented with a review of the literature.
