The authors present 4 cases of Krukenberg tumour of the ovary, secondary to carcinoma of the stomach (3 cases) and carcinoma of the breast (1 case). Pathologically it is characterized by the presence of typical signet ring cells and a diffuse infiltration of the stroma that gives the appearance of a sarcoma. Clinical data, computed tomography (CT) and sonographic findings in these four cases are analyzed. A review of the literature concerning this condition is provided and the treatment of the disease is discussed emphasizing the role of prophylactic oophorectomy.

Abstract
The authors present 4 cases of Krukenberg tumour of the ovary, secondary to carcinoma of the stomach (3 cases) and carcinoma of the breast (1 case). Pathologically it is characterized by the presence of typical signet ring cells and a diffuse infiltration of the stroma that gives the appearance of a sarcoma. Clinical data, computed tomography (CT) and sonographic findings in these four cases are analyzed. A review of the literature concerning this condition is provided and the treatment of the disease is discussed emphasizing the role of prophylactic oophorectomy.
