Multiple focal extraovarian serous carcinoma; three case reports.
Three patients with multiple focal extraovarian serous carcinoma are discussed. The disease is characterized by carcinomatosis peritonei of papillary adenocarcinoma type without an evident primary tumor. The clinical aspect is that of ovarian carcinoma. It is proposed that these tumors might originate from the extragenital Müllerian epithelium.
