We present a rare clinical case of Krukenberg's tumour in a patient with no history of neoplasia, whose initial presentation was an appendicular syndrome. The 37-year-old patient was admitted with progressive right iliac fossa pain, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting and fever. Clinical examination revealed ascites. Biological investigations subsequently showed elevated carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Abdominal ultrasound and CT imaging revealed a pelvic mass with peritoneal nodules and abundant ascites. Gastric endoscopy also revealed an antropyloric mass. Atomopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of Krukenberg's tumour, and the patient underwent total hysterectomy with right oophorectomy.
