Abstract:
Background: Benign lesions cause ovarian torsion more commonly than malignant ovarian
tumors. Further, Krukenberg tumors have rarely been reported to cause ovarian torsion.
Case Presentation: Herein, we present the case of a patient with an incidentally discovered ovarian
mass, which was finally diagnosed as a Krukenberg tumor accompanying ovarian torsion with primary
stomach cancer. We further review the clinical, imaging, and histological features of Krukenberg tumors.
Conclusion: Radiologists should be aware of Krukenberg tumors that may present with ovarian torsion.
