Answer

Correct answer: c) Transceloemic spread

Krukenberg tumour is a bilateral, metastatic, mucin-producing (signet-ring cell) ovarian tumour, most classically originating from a primary gastric carcinoma. The mechanism is transcoelomic spread — tumour cells shed from the primary site seed across the peritoneal cavity and implant on the ovarian surface (haematogenous or retrograde lymphatic spread may also contribute in some cases, but transcoelomic spread is the classic mechanism taught).
