title: [Peritoneal papillary serous carcinoma in a patient with previous surgery for breast cancer: clinical case].
abstract: The peritoneal papillary serous carcinoma (PPSC) is a rare tumor more frequently revealed in female. The onset mean age is 56 years. It implicate peritoneum, ovary's surface and pelvis. The histology of this disease is similar to papillary serous carcinoma ovary (PSCO). The PPSC histogenesis is probably correlated to coelomatic embryonal epithelium. Clinical characteristics are abdominal swelling, constipation, nausea, emesis, inappetence, feel unwell, lose weight. The cytoreductive surgery and the cisplatinum chemotherapy, and other treatments like immunotherapy and radiotherapy, increase the PSCP patient survival. A case of a 51 years old patient with previous surgery for breast cancer is here described. She show some of the yet described clinical findings. At the surgery we found the typically serous peritoneal localizations. We performed a debulking, and the patient died 14 months after the operation due to the disease progression.
