| Popis: | Extra ovarian primary peritoneal carcinoma is rare and interesting tumour characterized by peritoneal carcinomatosis with ascites and by a histological pattern similar to ovarian serous papillary adenocarcinoma. It is a relatively newly defined disease. Most reported cases of EOPPC have been in elderly women. Here we report a case of EOPPC diagnosed incidentally while performing an emergency caesarean section in an otherwise healthy and young primigravida. Patient had diffuse metastatic peritoneal deposits peroperatively. She was started on chemotherapy. |
