Abstract
Objective: Report a case of a 26-year-old patient diagnosed with Krukenberg tumor with the primary site localized in the stomach.
Methods: The researchers obtained the information through a review of the medical record, an interview with the patient, a photographic record of the diagnostic methods to which the patient was submitted, and a literature review.
Final Considerations: The case reported and publications raised expand knowledge regarding the course and management of the disease in young patients, which still needs to be clarified in the medical community and needs more studies.
