A Rare Case of Primary Peritoneal Psammocarcinoma Presenting as Acute Intestinal Obstruction and Ascites. International Archives of BioMedical and Clinical Research. 2016 Jan-Mar; 2(1): 32-352454-98942454-9886http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/184207We report a rare case of primary peritoneal psammocarcinoma (PPP) in a 60year old female patient who presented to surgical emergency with complaints of inability to pass feces and flatus for last 3 days along with pain and distension of abdomen. On clinical examination there were features of acute intestinal obstruction. Contrast CT of abdomen was suggestive of intestinal obstruction along with a stricture at the recto-sigmoid junction. On exploration there was a growth compressing the recto-sigmoid junction from the serosal surface. Anterior resection of the recto-sigmoid was done with negative gross margins. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen led to a diagnosis of primary peritoneal psammocarcinoma because of a solitary peritoneal lesion having abundant psammoma body formation and normal ovaries visualized on radiology and per-operatively. The diagnosis was further confirmed by histochemical tests and immunohistochemistry along with normal CA-125 levels in the patient.Peritoneal PsammocarcinomaIntestinal obstructionAscitesJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Pathology, JN Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, IndiaDepartment of Surgery, JN Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, IndiaDepartment of Pathology, JN Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, IndiaDepartment of Pathology, JN Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, IndiaDepartment of Surgery, JN Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, IndiaDepartment of Pathology, JN Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India
