ABSTRACT
Primary papillary serous carcinomas (PPC) of the peritoneum are very rare and classically present with widespread intraperitoneal dissemination, superficial invasion, and minimal ovarian stromal involvement. Because of clinically and histologically similar to advanced stage epithelial ovarian carcinoma the treatment has been a similar fashion-cytoreductive surgery followed by systemic chemotherapy. Histologic differentiation between papillary mesotheliomas, primary ovarian tumors, borderline tumors of the ovary with peritoneal deposits and primary peritoneal carcinoma may be difficult. The prognosis is very poor and the median lifespan 4 months. We experienced a case of primary peritoneal carcinoma and reported with the brief review of the literature.
