Abstract:
Although the peritoneum is rare site for a primary neoplasm, certain malignant neoplasms may arise from it. A case of 63-year-old woman who had a serous papillary carcinoma of peritoneal origin is reported. Extraovarian peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma was characterized by ascites, malignant washings, and omental involvement with bulky infiltration and/or multiple tumor nodules. The symptoms caused by diffuse spreading of the neoplasm over the peritoneum are the most important manifestation for clinical diagnosis of malignant primary neoplasm of peritoneum, especially serous papillary carcinoma. This behaving tumor was at least partially responded to therapy. In this report, we describe a case of serous papillary carcinoma of peritoneum carring on proper management with brief review.
