Krukenberg tumor of ovary with features of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma.
An unusual case of bilateral Krukenberg tumors having a predominant multicystic mucinous component which on gross and microscopic examination resembled a mucinous cystadenocarcinoma is presented. It is important to distinguish between these two tumors as Krukenberg tumours have a significantly worse prognosis.
