We report a case of left ovarian Krukenberg's tumor in a 65 year-old patient, three years after resection of a colonic carcinoma (pT3, G2, pN1, Stage 3, Dukes C). The case is briefly discussed with reference to the literature. Krukenberg's tumor usually occurs in younger patients, with a peak frequency before 40 years. Both ovaries are involved in 90% of cases. Pathogenetically the ovarian involvement arises either from hematogenous, lymphatic spreading or from contiguous extension from the primary colonic tumor. There may be some anatomic predispositions such as utero-ovarian vessel anastomosis in the ligamentum latum or by peritoneal adhesions.
