title: Peritonitis fibroplastica incapsulata with superadded post-operative starch powder peritonitis.
abstract: Peritonitis fibroplastica incapsulata is not generally accepted as a distinct syndrome. However, characteristic pathological alterations can be identified at laparotomy and by histological examinations. The aetiology of the disease is unknown. In the case reported a second disease arose, i.e. the peritoneal reaction to corn starch powder in the course of the surgical treatment of the peritonitis fibroplastica.
