[A case of peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma].

A 65-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with abdominal distension. Abdominal CT and MRI revealed massive ascites and an omental cake, but the ovaries were of normal size. After an omentum biopsy was performed during open abdominal surgery, she was diagnosed as peritoneal serous papillary adenocarcinoma. After 6 courses of chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin, the massive ascites totally disappeared, and a second look operation could be performed. She is still alive with no sign of recurrence.
