title: Krukenberg tumor in pregnancy with virilization. A case report.
abstract: A rare case of virilizing ovarian Krukenberg tumor of gastric origin in pregnancy is described. In spite of resection of the cancerous ovary, and primary gastric adenocarcinoma, followed by vigorous post-surgical chemotherapy, the 40-year woman died 31 months after diagnosis. The authors review another nine similar cases found in the literature. Such a diagnosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of virilization in pregnancy.
