Krukenberg tumor represents an uncommon metastatic tumor of the ovary. This paper provides a review of the major pathologic manifestations of Krukenberg tumor, patient characteristics, clinical and laboratory features, prognostic factors, and its pathogenesis. Knowledge of the diagnostic manifestations of the tumor leads to the correct diagnosis and prevents tumor misclassifi cation, thus avoiding improper clinical management. Prognosis of Krukenberg tumor is still very poor but there seem to exist several factors that appear to have an impact on survival. There is no established treatment for Krukenberg tumors.Загрузки
