Definitions
- Secondary (metastatic) neoplasms to ovary
- Krukenberg tumor
- Subtype of metastatic tumors that contain > 10% mucin-filled signet cells in cellular stroma
- Usually from gastrointestinal tract with 76% arising from stomach
- Krukenberg tumor is sometimes used inappropriately by some to include all metastatic ovarian carcinomas
- High-stage mucinous tumors involving ovary frequently represent metastases from extraovarian primary sites and are often misdiagnosed as primary ovarian mucinous tumors
