Abstract

Background: Gallbladder cancer is frequently transmitted to the liver and other gastrointestinal organs through direct extension. Ovarian metastases of biliary origin are quite uncommon.
Case Presentation: We report a rare case having Krukenberg tumours in both ovaries, an uncommon metastatic location of biliary cancer. A thorough analysis of the proposed tactics was carried out after a thorough critical review. The final diagnosis was made using a combination of radiology, histology, and serum markers.
Conclusion: In the case of gallbladder cancer, the presence of a Krukenberg tumour should be examined.

Keywords: Gallbladder cancer, Ovarian mass, Krukenberg tumor, bilateral
