The peritoneum is a much neglected area, with relatively little pathology. It includes the omentum which is dealt with in the omentum article.

Primary peritoneal serous carcinoma

General

  • Very rare.
  • Reported in men.[1]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Like serous carcinoma elsewhere - see ovarian serous carcinoma.
  • To exclude ovarian serous carcinoma all of the following criteria must be met:[2]
    1. Histology of the tumour = serous carcinoma.
    2. Bulk of the tumour involves the peritoneum.
    3. Ovarian substance tumour extent less than 5 x 5 mm in plane of section.
    4. Previous ovarian serous carcinoma is excluded.
      • Old oopherectomies reviewed if possible.
