The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a 42-year-old woman with a giant Krukenberg tumor from gastric cancer are reported. The macroscopic features of the Krukenberg tumor resulting from gastric cancer were clearly and precisely shown on MRI. Furthermore, MRI was more useful than ultrasonography or CT for determining the origin and further tissue characterization of the tumor. These findings suggest that MRI can be especially useful in the evaluation of giant ovarian tumors as in the present case.

BACKGROUND: Mucinous eccrine carcinoma (MEC) is a rare malignant tumor that typically arises in the periorbital area. METHODS: The authors report the 73rd case of primary MEC of the skin. This patient's clinicopathologic findings and the world literature are reviewed. RESULTS: Patient ages range from 8-84 years (median, 63 years). The male-to-female ratio was approximately 2:1. The racial distribution was 67% white, 32% black, and 4% Asian. Primary MEC originates in the head and neck region in approximately 75% of patients. The most common location was the periorbital area (40% or 29 of 73 patients). The local recurrence rate after conventional surgery was: eyelid, 34%; scalp, 36%; and face, 33%. CONCLUSIONS: Primary MEC is often a slow-growing tumor that may recur after traditional surgical excision. Recurrent eyelid MEC tends to be locally destructive with a regional metastatic rate of 3.5% (1 of 29). The regional metastatic rate for all sites was 11%, and the distant metastatic rate was 3%.
