title: [Primary seropapillary peritoneal carcinoma. 16 case reports. Review of the literature].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Review of primary seropapillary carcinoma of the peritoneum.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective.
  
  
  METHODS
  Department of Gynaecology and Oncology, University Hospital, Rennes.
  
  
  METHODS
  16 patients who underwent chemotherapy and surgery.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Mean age at onset was 62 years with a late clinical diagnosis at an advanced stage. Macroscopically, peritoneal miliary was often associated with a predominant tumoural formation on the epiploon. Treatment included surgical exeresis with endoxan-cisplatin chemotherapy. The prognosis was equivalent to ovarian tumours at similar stages.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Primary seropapillary carcinosis of the peritoneum is a separate group of peritoneal carcinosis distinguishable from peritoneal mesotheliomas and which have a prognosis similar to ovarian tumours. These tumours should be classed as part of the large group of mullerian tumours.
