ABSTRACT
@#Krukenberg tumour is a rare clinical entity and accounts for about 1-2% of all ovarian tumours. It is a metastatic ovarian tumour in which accurate diagnosis requires proper endoscopic evaluation and histopathological confirmation to exclude primary ovarian tumours. Dextrocardia with situs inversus totalis is another unusual clinical entity, with an incidence of 1 in 10,000 of the general population. Many patients with this unusual condition are unaware of their structural abnormality and mostly are diagnosed incidentally when they present with other medical conditions. Herein, we report a case of 47 years old woman who presented with bilateral ovarian tumour and incidental diagnosis of Dextrocardia with situs inversus totalis. She underwent surgery and histopathological examination confirms Krukenberg tumour. Both conditions existing together, an exceptionally rare clinical entity.
