Abstract
Giant bilateral Krukenberg tumors are rarely seen, especially causing complications due to their size. We present a 35-year-old female, diagnosed with carcinoma rectum one year back, now presented to us with intestinal obstruction features. Imaging was suggestive of features of acute intestinal obstruction. Intraoperatively, we found that the patient had bilateral giant ovarian cysts, which compressed the proximal part of the descending colon, causing the obstruction. The patient underwent bilateral excision of the ovarian cyst with diversion sigmoid colostomy. Postoperatively the patient was started on palliative chemotherapy.
