Krukenberg tumor are defined as ovarian metastases of cancer, most digestive. Krukenberg’s tumor mainly affects women between 30 and 50 years old, saying in childbearing age. It is characterized by the presence of kitten-ring cells filled with mucus and a pseudo sarcomatous proliferation of the ovariaen stroma. Their evolution is rapidly fatal the disease is initially manifested by lumbar pain with an alteration of the bone structures on the CT-scan an accelerated turnover on the bone scintigraphy. Suggesting in the first place an anomaly of bone metabolisme or a tumoral pathology, however less probable given the young age and the good general condition of the patient (4).

This is a 29-years old patient with two large mixed masses (cystic and tissue), mostly cystic, the pelvic site of which is related to krukenberg’s tumor.

The objective of this article is to show rapidly evoluing nature of krukenberg’s tumor and to make practitioners aware of the therapeutic difficulties of this tumor in order to improve its prognosis.

Krukenberg’s tumor is a metastatic tumor of a primary cancer often digestive (6). But not every ovarian mass should be considered krukenberg disease.

According to the who, the formal diagnosis of krukenberg’s tumor is based on several criteria: the major criteria are (stromal invasion of the tumor; the presence of neo-plastic cell in a signet ring producing mucin; a sarcomatoid stromal ovarian proliferation, et les criteres minor are (bilateral iteration of tumor; double component and peritoneal effusion). Krukenberg syndrome must be known in order to ensure adequate fallow-up in all patients treated for digestive cancer
