Krukenberg tumor
High-Yield Explanation
Malignant tumors that metastasize to the ovary are almost invariably bilateral. The term Krukenberg tumor refers to a metastatic mucinous/signet ring cell adenocarcinoma of the ovaries that typically originates from primary tumors of the intestinal tract, characteristically the stomach. Ovarian metastases often represent a late disseminated stage of the disease in which other hematogenous metastases are also found Ref: Hoffman B.L., Schorge J.O., Schaffer J.I., Halvorson L.M., Bradshaw K.D., Cunningham F.G., Calver L.E.
