- Abstract
Krukenberg tumors are rare metastatic ovarian tumors with its primary site being the gastrointestinal tract as a most common site and poor prognosis. We hereby, present a 25-year-old pregnant female suffering from abdominal pain and iterative vomiting episodes. She was diagnosed with a terminal stage of the malignant disease. She underwent total ovariectomy without any radiotherapy. Histological examination of the specimen yielded diagnosis of Krukenberg tumor. Ten days later, the patient underwent a natural vaginal delivery in the 25th gestational week because of labor pain, and we extracted a dead male newborn of 31 cm, 510 g, AP score 0. Three weeks later, the patient died because of pulmonary failure. © 2019 Tehran University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved.
