A Case of Tuberculous Peritonitis in Pregnancy / 대한산부인과학회잡지

The tuberculous peritonitis, especially in pregnancy, is very rare and difficult to diagnose since there is no diagnostic clue and limitation of diagnostic means. The clinical features may vary such as fever, chill, tachycardia, abdominal tenderness or rebound tenderness which are not controlled easily with antibiotics. It is possible to diagnose by AFB culture and biopsy through exploro-laparotomy which is done due to uncontrolled symptoms even to unstable vital signs. It's clinical symptoms and signs are dramatically improved with antituberculotic therapy. Recently we have experienced a case of tubeculous peritonitis at 29 weeks gestation which was diagnosed through exploro-laparotomy including cesarean section. So we report this case with a brief review of literature

A Case of Primary Papillary Serous Carcinoma of the Peritoneum / 대한산부인과학회잡지

Primary papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum(PPSCP) is vere rare. It has been suggested that PPSCP derives from embryonal coelomic epithelium with m llerian ducts potential. PPSCP can develop from a single or multicentric focus. The clinical and histologic disease entities are similar to those of primary papillary serous carcinoma of the ovary, but PPSCP involves the ovarian surface only minimally(microscopic disease) or spares the ovaries entirely. We have experienced a case of primary papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum and report this case with brief review of the concerned literature.
