Krukenberg Tumour in Adolescents: Rare but Possible.

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.
