Venkiteswaran Muralidhar, Pooja E Moorthy, Akshay C K Krishnan, Leo J Manavalan
TL;DR
A rare case of stomach cancer with Krukenberg tumors was fully removed in a young woman, suggesting possible improved survival.
Contribution
Demonstrates the possibility of complete resection in rare cases of linitis plastica with Krukenberg tumors.
Findings
Full resection of linitis plastica with synchronous Krukenberg tumors was achieved in a young woman.
Such cases are rare due to poor prognosis and lack of treatment protocols.
Complete resection may improve survival in select cases.
Abstract
We report a case of linitis plastica (LP) with synchronous bilateral Krukenberg Tumours in a young woman, which could be resected fully. Such a case is rarely reported because of rarity (LP), dismal prognosis (LP and Krukenberg Tumours), nonresectability due to peritoneal spread at presentation, and lack of clear treatment protocols (LP and Krukenberg Tumours). This case report suggests that LP, with Krukenberg Tumours, can achieve complete resection in a select subset of cases; this may improve survival.
