Abstract

Objective

To identify an unusual histologic entity, extraovarian primary peritoneal carcinoma (EOPPC) along with a review of the recent literature.

Methods

A thorough clinical examination along with detail laboratory parameters was studied in a 56-year-old female who presented with ascites and an elevated serum CA-125. Multiple microscopic sections were studied from the surgical specimen received comprising of total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and omentectomy.

Results

A diagnosis of EOPPC was made after a thorough study.

Conclusion

A correct diagnosis and timely management of this unusual histologic entity can result in long-term disease-free survival of the patient.
