Περίληψη:
Krukenberg tumor is an ovarian metastatic tumor which may rarely develop during pregnancy. The diagnosis of this tumor is often overlooked by the signs and symptoms of pregnancy and therefore delayed. The prognosis is universally poor and most patients die within one year of diagnosis.We present a case of a pregnant woman who was admitted for threatened premature birth and diagnosed with Krukenberg tumor. Virilization symptoms initiated clinical and laboratory investigation and eventually the diagnosis of Krukenberg tumor was confirmed. The woman delivered a healthy infant and after that she received palliative treatment. © 2012 Informa UK, Ltd.
