Sumario:We report a case of a metastatic signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) of gastrointestinal tract. The case is very rare because gastrointestinal tract SRCC was metastatic to bilateral breasts and ovaries (Krukenberg tumor) in the same young woman almost synchronously under breastfeeding condition. Though the primary site was not detected, IHC results fully verified that the tumor originated from gastrointestinal tract. The severe situation of the patient was believed to be connected to her high estrogen hormone.
