Abstract
- Gliomatosis peritonei is the implantation of glial tissue with the piertoneal cavity associa-ted with ovarian teratoma. Although the mechanism of implantation is unknown, it probably occurs most commonly from extrusion of mature glial tissue through capsular defects in the tumor. Previous reports have emphasized improved outcomes when these implants are found to be mature, even if the ovarian component is immature. We experienced one case of ovarian immature teratoma(Grade I) with gliomatosis peritonei, which was treated with conservative surgery.
