Abstract
- The well-documented but rare primary papillary serous peritoneal tumors are difficult problems for the pathologist and the clinician. The peritoneal serous papillary tumors were morphologically identical to serous ovarian tumor of equivalent grade. Because of their unusual location, these tumor are often classified as mesothelioma or advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma. We experienced two cases of primary papillary serous peritoneal carcinoma and report with brief review of literature.
