Serous surface papillary carcinoma

Abstract

Three cases of serous surface papillary carcinoma of the abdominopelvic peritoneum are presented. All of the patients were subjected to a relatively homogeneous management consisting of primary surgery and cisplatin based chemotherapy regimen. The second look procedures of two patients were found to be negative. Although these tumors are known to have a poor prognosis, aggressive surgery and cisplatin based chemotherapy seem to have promising results.
