Abstract
Abstract: We present a rare case of extraovarian primary peritoneal carcinoma in 65-year-old female with a history of total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for larger symptomatic leiomyoma 13 years ago. In October 2005 the patient had abdominal swelling, ascites with positive cytology peritonal adenocarcinoma and significantly elevated serum Ca-125 was 500 U/ml. Clinical examinations were performed, but could not identify a unique origin of disease.
Background: Aproximatly 3.2 % to 21 % of extraovarian primary peritoneal carcinoma patients have a history bilateral oophorectomy for benign disease or prophylaxis – family history of ovar- ian carcinoma.1
Patients and methods: A 65-year old woman with a history of total abdominal hysterectomy and bileteral salpin- go-oophorectomy was operated for larger symptomatic leiomyoma 13 years ago. In Octobre 2005 the patient had abdominal swelling, ascites with positive cytology peritonal adeno- carcinoma and significantly elevated serum Ca-125 was 500 U/ml. Radiologic imaging, gastroscopy, colonoscopy, mammography were performed, but couldn`t identify a unique origin of disease. Patient was treated for two years at the Oncology Institute Ljubljana. Significantly elevated serum Ca-125 and citology with immunohistochemical analysis pre- sented correct diagnosis of extraovarian primary peritoneal carcinoma. The patient was treated with combination systemic chemotherapy (Paclitaxel and Carboplatin) with initial good response. In year 2006 and 2007 because of the progression of disease, the treatment was repeated with adjuvant chemotherapy.
Conclusions: Look like in other similar cases we have confirmed our disease with three cytologic punction procedures, with significant elevated valves of Ca-125 and with several other directed proce- dures.1–3 Our patient has survived the characteristic critical period for this form of cancer of 7 to 27.8 months because of well orientated direction of diagnosis and chemotherapy. The patient survived 27 months. Peritoneal carcinomas were diagnosed at later ages (mean, 67 years).
