[A case of complete peritonectomy for primary ovarian pseudomyxoma]

A 64-year-old woman had an abdominal distention in February 2002. She was diagnosed with primary ovarian pseudomyxoma. She received a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo oophorectomy in April 2002. Then, she was referred to our hospital the same year. In October 2002, she received peritonectomy with resection of the hepatic capsule, diaphragmatic peritoneum, pelvic peritoneum, greater omentum and the spleen. Intraperitoneal CDDP administration was done on days 1 and 2 after peritonectomy. She is still alive without recurrence for 3 years after the peritonectomy operation.
