Skull Base Metastasis and Krukenberg Tumor in a Pregnant Woman: An Unusual Presentation of Metastatic Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT

Gastric cancer is an infrequent cause of vomiting during pregnancy. It is often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to late presentation by patients, mistaking it for gestational symptoms. We report a 24-year-old pregnant woman with gastric cancer with skull base metastasis and Krukenberg tumor on initial diagnosis. She underwent medical termination of pregnancy and best supportive care before dying of her illness.
