Med."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Krukenberg tumor is a relatively uncommon metastatic ovarian cancer, typically presenting with abdominal pain and distension, primarily due to bilateral ovarian involvement. Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome, caused by a Krukenberg tumor originating from gastric cancer, is extremely rare. In this study, we report the case of a 39-year-old woman who presented with unusual manifestations of a Krukenberg tumor, where abdominal distension and dyspnea were the primary symptoms. After surgical treatment, a histopathological examination of the ovary revealed the presence of signet ring cell carcinoma. We concluded that this case coincided with Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome. Clinicians should note that Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome should be considered in patients with Krukenberg tumor, ascites, and pleural effusion, as resection of the tumor may provide long-term palliation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2024.1427568","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,13]],"date-time":"2024-09-13T04:40:40Z","timestamp":1726202440000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Krukenberg tumor arising from gastric cancer presenting as Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome: a case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Shikang","family":"Qiu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huihui","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hanxiao","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Limin","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","first-page":"1842","article-title":"The association of Meigs's syndrome with krukenberg tumors","volume":"50","author":"Dick","year":"1950","journal-title":"N Y State J Med."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"319","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tjog.2018.02.025","article-title":"A rare krukenberg tumor arising from a primary adenocarcinoma of the small intestine","volume":"57","author":"An-Chieh Liu","year":"2018","journal-title":"Taiwan J Obstet Gynecol."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"9485285","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/9485285","article-title":"Sun Sa, Cao R, Xi Y, et al.
