| Abstract: |
Introduction: Krukenberg tumor is a malignant ovarian metastasis, primarily of gastric origin, with a poor prognosis. This case illustrates the challenges posed by its metachronous presentation and management.
Materials and Methods: We report the case of a 46-year-old woman, initially treated in 2021 for a stage IIIB gastric adenocarcinoma with 4/5 gastrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy. Her case was analyzed retrospectively (medical records, imaging, pathology).
Results: Three years after remission, the patient presented with pelvic pain. Imaging (CT, MRI) revealed bilateral O-RADS 5 ovarian masses, suggestive of Krukenberg tumors, associated with pelvic fluid. After failure of systemic chemotherapy, a bilateral annexectomy was performed. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of ovarian metastasis from a poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma with signet-ring cells, along with peritoneal carcinomatosis.
Discussion: This case highlights the possibility of late metachronous recurrence in the form of Krukenberg tumor, despite an initially seemingly complete treatment. It underscores the difficulty of differential diagnosis and the imperative for a multidisciplinary approach integrating surgery, chemotherapy, and molecular profiling to optimize the management of this aggressive disease.
