Peritoneal carcinomatosis mimicking a peritoneal tuberculosis

Symptoms of a peritoneal progression from ovarian cancer are nonspecific such as abdominal pain, abdominal distention and more. Many imaging studies and serum CA-125 help diagnosis. However, it is difficult to exclude the instances of the diffuse peritoneal diseases that mimic carcinomatosis. The el...

Many imaging studies and serum CA-125 help diagnosis. However, it is difficult to exclude the instances of the diffuse peritoneal diseases that mimic carcinomatosis. The elevated CA-125 level usually correlates with the peritoneal carcimatosis, but it is often found in other peritoneal diseases. Therefore, the pathologic confirmation is necessary because of other mimicking diseases. In our case, CA-125 levels were elevated. Abdominal computed tomography finding was suspected a peritoneal tuberculosis but the pathologic result was the peritoneal carcimatosis, eventually.
