Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is a term to describe the distant spread (metastatic) of the primary tumor to the peritoneal cavity. PC is a late-stage manifestation of various gastrointestinal malignancies in general and affects the ovaries, which is characterized as tumor deposits involving the surface of the peritoneal wall. If no primary signs are found, the primary diagnosis can be considered from the peritoneum itself. PC itself can be found incidentally on imaging, which can be seen on computed tomography examination, but in some mimicking images making it difficult to make a diagnosis, it is necessary to correlate it with the histopathological results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
