Krukenberg Tumor with Diffuse Skeletal Metastasis. A Case Report With Review of Literature
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Tumors that commonly metastasize to the bone are carcinomas arising in the prostate, breast, lung, and neuroblastoma. Rarely epithelial tumors of the ovary metastasize to the bone and bone marrow. There are only few case reports in the literature describing bone and bone marrow metastasis from primary as well as secondary Krukenberg tumors of the ovary. We present a case of adenocarcinoma of the stomach and bilateral metachronous ovarian Krukenberg tumor (secondary) who was referred to our department with complaints of generalized bone pains. Technetium 99m (Tc 99m) MDP whole body bone scan was done which revealed metastasis throughout the skeletal system (super scan)
