Abstract

Tumors that commonly metastasize to the bone are carcinomas arising in the prostate, breast, lung and neuroblastoma. Rarely epithelial tumours of the ovary metastasize to the bone and bone marrow. There are only few case reports in the literature describing bone and bone marrow metastasis from primary as well as secondary Krukenberg tumours of the ovary. We present a case of an adenocarcinoma of stomach and bilateral metachronous ovarian Krukenberg tumour (secondary) who was referred to our department with complaints of generalised bone pains. Technetium 99m (Tc 99m) MDP whole body bone scan was done which revealed metastasis throughout skeletal system (super scan). JMS 2014;17(2):64-68
