Krukenberg tumours (KT) are uncommon tumours indicating any ovarian metastatic carcinoma deriving from a primary malignancy (Jiang et al. 2009). They represent only 1–2% of all ovarian tumours, with an estimated incidence of 0.16 per 100,000 per year (Hiremath et al. 2015). The vast majority of KT originate from gastric adenocarcinoma, followed by colon, biliary system, jejunum and pancreas (Lash and Hart 1987). Oesophageal metastases to the female genital tract are extremely rare, but they significantly worsen the prognosis. We present a rare case of a Krukenberg tumour arising from an oesophageal adenocarcinoma.
