ABSTRACT
Between 1982 and 1992, 129 patients with malignant epithelial ovarian tumors were reviewed with identification of 10 patients having surface papillary serous carcinoma of the ovary and one having peritoneal papillary carcinoma. The gross operative specimens, histopathologic condition, and treatment records were reviewed. All patients had disease involving the omentum, and the abdominal and pelvic peritoneum, and they all corresponded to stage III, according to FIGO. The median age at presentation was 58-years (age range, 43 to 73 years). All patients had a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and all received chemotherapy. The median survival time for all patients was 15 months. Three patients are alive 3 to 4 years after the initial diagnosis. In conclusion, surface serous ovarian cancers and peritoneal papillary serous cancers have common histologic appearance and the same responsiveness to surgical therapy and to chemotherapy and should be treated similarly.
