Core Tip
Core tip: The Krukenberg tumor (KT) is very often misdiagnosed as primary ovarian cancer and may be occasionally diagnosed during a clinical work-up. The fast implementation of effective treatment is always necessary. This case might contribute to future confirmation of the usefulness of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy as a rescue or neoadjuvant, supportive form of therapy in a very select group of patients. This clinical development might be particularly important for patients with a KT presentation of gastric cancer who have been recently qualified to undergo classic chemotherapy or standard oncologic surgical procedures.
