Gastric Adenocarcinoma.This image displays a macroscopic specimen at the operation room, the macroscopic appearance shown here is the ulcerated whitish image at the center. Krukenberg´s tumor of ovary which has a signet ring histologic pattern. The lesions may not be discovered until the primary disease is advanced, and most patients die of their disease within a year. In some cases, a primary tumor is not found.

Description: A malignant tumor of the ovary, usually bilateral, with fibromyxomatous stroma and scattered mucin secreting signet cells. Typically, the tumor is a large, greyish white, solid lesion. The primary tumor usually found in the ventricle. By Krukenberg termed fibrosarcoma ovarii mucocellulare carcinomatodes, but they are now known to be most frequently secondary to malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract. Occur in elderly women.
