Krukenberg's tumors are rare malignant tumors of the ovary, often bilateral and secondary to cancer of the stomach, mucosal secreting in 90% of cases. We are reporting a case in our unit of a krukenberg with a primary pancreatic tumor. The diagnosis and management of krukenberg tumor is complex and should involve an interprofessional team that includes hospice, palliative care nurse, pain specialist, oncologist, surgeon, pathologist, and radiologist. In all cases, this is metastatic disease and the patients are frail and debilitated. Aggressive surgery is not recommended as it does not extend life span.
