Krukenberg tumors classically refer to secondary ovarian malignancy. The primary is mostly from female genital tract, breast and gastrointestinal tract. Krukenberg tumors account for 30 to 40% of metastatic cancers to the ovaries. The average age of occurrence is 45 years. Most of the Krukenberg tumors are histopathological diagnosis done postoperatively. We do report a case of Krukenberg tumor in an adolescent girl.

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare malignant neoplasm. It is primarily found in young men, with a reported male to female ratio of 4:1. The tumor typically develops in the abdominal cavity, invading the omentum with multiple peritoneal implants involving the diaphragm, splenic hilum, mesentery of the small and large bowel, and the pelvic peritoneum. Most of them have widespread disease at presentation, with an organ of origin difficult to ascertain. We report a case of desmoplastic round cell tumor in a 17-year-old teenage girl. Immunohistochemistry helped in the diagnosis. She received multimodality treatment.
