Krukenberg tumor is a relatively uncommon metastatic ovarian cancer, typically presenting with abdominal pain and distension, primarily due to bilateral ovarian involvement. Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome, caused by a Krukenberg tumor originating from gastric cancer, is extremely rare. In this study, we report the case of a 39-year-old woman who presented with unusual manifestations of a Krukenberg tumor, where abdominal distension and dyspnea were the primary symptoms. After surgical treatment, a histopathological examination of the ovary revealed the presence of signet ring cell carcinoma. We concluded that this case coincided with Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome. Clinicians should note that Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome should be considered in patients with Krukenberg tumor, ascites, and pleural effusion, as resection of the tumor may provide long-term palliation.
库肯勃瘤是一种相对罕见的转移性卵巢癌，通常表现为腹痛和腹胀，主要是由于双侧卵巢受累。由源自胃癌的库肯勃瘤引起的假性梅格斯综合征极为罕见。在本研究中，我们报告了一例39岁女性，该患者表现出库肯勃瘤的不寻常表现，以腹胀和呼吸困难为主要症状。手术治疗后，对卵巢进行组织病理学检查发现存在印戒细胞癌。我们得出结论，该病例符合假性梅格斯综合征。临床医生应注意，对于患有库肯勃瘤、腹水和胸腔积液的患者，应考虑假性梅格斯综合征，因为切除肿瘤可能提供长期缓解。
