Krukenberg tumour is a rare ovarian metastatic carcinoma arising from a primary malignancy elsewhere, classically the gastrointestinal tract and breast. They are bilateral solid ovarian tumour which most commonly occurs between 40-60 years, and its occurrence in the second decade of life is extremely rare. In this short commentary, we present an unusual case of Krukenberg tumour in a 16-year old in which diagnosis was made intraoperatively and managed systematically, thus emphasising the need to suspect Krukenberg in all age groups.
库肯勃瘤是一种罕见的卵巢转移性癌,起源于其他部位的原发性恶性肿瘤,典型的原发部位是胃肠道和乳腺。它们是双侧实性卵巢肿瘤,最常见于40至60岁之间,在生命的第二个十年出现极为罕见。在这篇简短的评论中,我们介绍了一例16岁的库肯勃瘤罕见病例,该病例在术中确诊并得到了系统治疗,从而强调了在所有年龄组中都需怀疑库肯勃瘤的必要性。
