Seda Sahin et al. J Adolesc Young Adult Oncol. 2020 Apr.

Abstract

Krukenberg tumor (KT) is a rare ovarian carcinoma containing mucin-filled signet ring cells. It accounts for 1%-2% of all ovarian tumors. It is seen at an average age of 40 years. Reported pediatric cases of KT in the literature are very limited. Herein, we present an adolescent with a KT that was compatible with metastatic ring cell colon carcinoma.

Keywords: Krukenberg tumor; adolescents; ovarian tumors.
