Three cases of rapidly growing leiomyomata uteri in young oligomenorrheic women are presented. The atypical ultrasonic and histologic findings are discussed. A spectrum of atypical ultrasonic findings including a high degree of transonicity and multiple areas of cystic degeneration is described. Histologic examination correlates well in explaining the sonographic characteristics. In addition, a possible relationship between the presumably anovulatory cycles present in these women and their rapidly growing leiomyomata is suggested.
Krukenberg carcinoma of the ovary accounts for 1 to 3% of ovarian neoplasms. The nature and behavior of this particularly virulent tumor remain unclear. In this paper, 2 cases are presented of Krukenberg carcinoma metastatic from the gastrointestinal tract; in both bone marrow involvement was detected early in the course of the disease. The histopathology of the tumor is described. A comprehensive review of the literature in English is provided, and therapeutic approaches to the disease are discussed.
