title: Tubular Krukenberg tumor in pregnancy with virilization.
abstract: A case of tubular Krukenberg tumor in pregnancy with virilization is presented. The pathology is reviewed. This rare tumor must be distinguished from a Sertoli-Leydig tumor. The index case adds to the previously recorded eight cases. All nine cases reviewed presented with progressive virilization between the third and eighth month of gestation, which regressed after surgery. The fetal outcomes of seven cases have been recorded. The fetuses were all female and of these five were virilized. A gastric primary was found in five cases. A primary breast carcinoma was postulated in another. In the remaining cases either no autopsy was performed or no primary tumor was found.
