| Popis: | Presence of signet ring cells in ovarian neoplasms are commonly encountered in Krukenberg tumours of ovary. Unusual presence in primary ovarian mucinous tumours may create a diagnostic difficulty. To the best of our knowledge only very few such cases have been reported in the literature indicating their rarity. We report a case of primary ovarian mucinous carcinoma with signet ring cells. The purpose of this presentation is to sensitize the pathologists to consider primary mucinous carcinoma as a differential diagnosis in tumours with signet ring cells. |
