Abstract
Krukenberg tumour is a rare ovarian metastatic carcinoma arising from a primary malignancy elsewhere, classically the gastrointestinal tract and breast. They are bilateral solid ovarian tumour which most commonly occurs between 40-60 years, and its occurrence in the second decade of life is extremely rare. In this short commentary, we present an unusual case of Krukenberg tumour in a 16-year old in which diagnosis was made intraoperatively and managed systematically, thus emphasising the need to suspect Krukenberg in all age groups.
