ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The Krukenberg tumor is a metastatic or primary malignant ovarian tumor of the signet-ring cell type. The incidence of this tumor is higher in Korea than in western, among relatively young age group with poor prognosis. We evaluated the clinical characteristics of the Krukenberg tumor (metastasized from stomach cancer) and the relationship between the survival and clinical characteristics (including treatment modalities).METHODS:
We analyzed 32 cases of the Krukenberg tumor metastasized from stomach cancer at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kosin University Gospel Hospital.RESULTS:
Among the 32 cases of the Krukenberg tumor, the age distribution ranged from 22 to 58 years, and the mean age was 38.8 years. The most common chief complaint was lower abdominal pain(11 cases). The majority of the stomach cancer showed serosal invasion and was signet-ring cell type in histology. The mean survival was 20 months. In patients with ascites(22 cases), the mean survival was 16 months in contrast to 25 months in ascites-free patients(10 cases). In the chemotherpy group, the mean survival was 23 months in contrast to 16 months in chemotherpy-free group. Also, longer mean survival(25months) was shown in cases with optimal surgery group than non-optimal surgery group.CONCLUSIONS:
The survival of krukenberg tumor was shown to be related to the surigcal resectability and chemotherpy modalities.
