An Unexpected Turn: An Unusual Case of a Metastatic Ovarian Carcinoma Arising from a Colorectal Malignancy.

Krukenberg tumors are very rare. Its origin is difficult to define especially if its gross features mimic a primary ovarian cancer. We present a case of a 24-year-old Filipino female patient with metastatic mucinous ovarian adenocarcinoma of colonic origin that mimicked primary ovarian cancer and genitourinary tuberculosis. Surgery was done and histopathology revealed that the cancer was a metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma of colonic origin. This case highlights the importance of differentiating between benign and malignant ovarian lesions as well as distinction between primary and metastatic ovarian neoplasms. Radiological imaging has an evolving role in diagnosis of different cancers, which may be improved through better clinical correlation and developing meaningful differential diagnosis while advancing to a more strategized algorithm in the diagnostic approach.
