ABSTRACT Krukenberg tumors classically refer to secondary ovarian malignancy. The primary is mostly from female genital tract, breast and gastrointestinal tract. Krukenberg tumors account for 30 to 40% of metastatic cancers to the ovaries. The average age of occurrence is 45 years. Most of the Krukenberg tumors are histopathological diagnosis done postoperatively. We do report a case of Krukenberg tumor in an adolescent girl.
