title: [A primary mucus-producing adenocarcinoma of the appendix with a bilateral Krukenberg tumor].
abstract: A patient is described with a primary mucous adenocarcinoma of the appendix with bilateral Krukenberg tumours. On the basis of the available literature the value of diagnosing a Krukenberg tumour of the ovaries is elucidated. Finally the question is raised whether this matter should influence policy as regards colorectal tumours.
