ABSTRACT

Presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente joven que acudió a Urgencias por disnea, objetivándose en la radiografía de tórax un derrame pleural derecho masivo y en la ecografía transvaginal, efectuada tras el hallazgo de un test de embarazo positivo, una masa ovárica. En la TC toraco-abdominal se observó, además, un engrosamiento de la mucosa gástrica, que fue valorado mediante gastroscopia, siendo la biopsia positiva para adenocarcinoma de células en anillo de sello. Ante estos hallazgos se confirmó el diagnóstico de tumor de Krukenberg, entidad poco frecuente con una forma de presentación también excepcional en forma de falso síndrome de Meigs. Una vez iniciado el tratamiento sistémico la paciente presentó, como una complicación de su enfermedad de base, hallazgos compatibles con una linfangitis carcinomatosa, que condicionó la necesidad de oxigenoterapia domiciliaria


We present the clinical case of a young patient who came to the emergency department due to dyspnea, showing a massive right pleural effusion on the chest radiograph and an ovarian mass on the transvaginal ultrasound, performed after the finding of a positive pregnancy test. In the thoraco-abdominal CT scan, a thickening of the gastric mucosa was also observed, which was valued by gastroscopy, with a positive biopsy for adenocarcinoma of cells in the signet ring. Given these findings, the diagnosis of Krukenberg tumor was confirned, a rare entity with an exceptional form of presentation in the form of false Meigs syndrome. Once the systemic treatment was begun the patient presented, as a complication of the underlying disease, findings compatible with a carcinomatous lymphangitis, which conditioned the need for home oxygen therapy
