Aero Loves You. :@),
A Krukenberg tumour is a metastatic signet ring cell adenocarcinoma of the ovary. This has only been recorded 30 times in the last 50 years anywhere in the world.



ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. - MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED.

It is extremely important to obtain an accurate diagnosis before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms.


The information provided here should not be used during any medical emergency or for the diagnosis or treatment of any medical condition. A licensed physician should be consulted for diagnosis and treatment of any and all medical conditions.


I add a link which discusses this condition, and one which you may find interesting.

Yes I can. Itis called 'inflammatory breast cancer'. It is strange to me that the American Cancer Society, and other agencies do nothing to tell us about this rare, but extremely deadly cancer. It starts out as a sore on the outside of the breast, and is commonly diagnosed as an inflammation of one sort or another. A good doctor, however, will instantly recognize it. This cancer moves very quickly to other organs, mainly the liver, then the brain, then to the bones. It cannot be cured. Radiation and surgery and chemo may prolong the patient's life, but cannot cure it. If any woman has a sore on the outside of her breast she needs immediate care and diagnosis.
