Discussion
Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Definition: Extensive, or very widespread, metastasis of cancerous tumors onto the inside surfaces (peritoneum) of the abdomen.
Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Occurs commonly with abdominopelvic tumors Most common tumors: Ovarian carcinoma (female) Gastric cancer Pancreas cancer Colon cancer
Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Ascites Soft tissue masses or thickening of the parietal peritoneum Omental thickening (omental cake) Tumor nodules & enlarged LNs in the mesentery Thickening & nodularity of the bowel wall

Peritoneal Carcinomatosis D.D.: Lymphoma Primary peritoneal mesothelioma Gastrointestinal stromal tumors Peritoneal tuberculosis Indian J Radiol Imaging 2010;20:58-62
Normal-sized ovarian carcinoma syndrome Diffuse metastatic disease of the peritoneal cavity. Ovaries are macroscopically normal (<4cm) or only have fine nodularities on the external surface. Obstet Gynecol. 1989;73(5 Pt 1):786-92.
Normal-sized ovarian carcinoma syndrome Including: Mesothelioma Primary peritoneal carcinoma Primary ovarian carcinoma ( Serous surface papillary carcinoma of ovary, Papillary serous carcinoma in ovaries of normal size ) Metastatic tumor from another primary origin Obstet Gynecol. 1989;73(5 Pt 1):786-92.
Serous surface papillary carcinoma of ovary Originating from the surface epithelium of the ovary Absence of involvement or only microscopic involvement of the ovarian parenchyma. A distinct subtype of serous papillary carcinoma of the ovary Extensive peritoneal spread Acta Radiologica 38 (1997) 847-849
Serous surface papillary carcinoma of ovary Imaging findings (CT, US, MRI): Diffuse nodularities along the serosal surface of the ovaries, uterus and peritoneum without ovarian mass. The nodular lesions obliterated the outer margin of uterus and ovaries. Acta Radiologica 38 (1997) 847-849
Omental thickening (Omental cake) nodularity
Serous surface papillary carcinoma of ovary Elevated CA-125 in all pts (most > 200 U/ml) AJR 2004;183:1721–1724
CA-125 & Ovarian Cancer The average reported sensitivities for ovarian cancer: 50% for stage I 90% for stage II or higher disease Varies according to histology Specificity of CA 125 is limited. Rarely > 100~200 U/ml in benign conditions. From UpToDate; Epithelial ovarian cancer : Clinical manifestations, diagnostic evaluation, staging, and histopathology
CA-125 & Ovarian Cancer Not a useful diagnostic test in premenopausal women, especially at low positive levels (warning if > 200 U/ml). It is more useful in postmenopausal women, in whom the positive predictive value for malignancy is 97 %.
CA-125 & Ovarian Cancer High preoperative CA-125 levels correlate with: Advanced stage (III or IV) High grade disease Serous histology The presence of ascites
CA-125 & Ovarian Cancer Not a reliable predictor of the likelihood of optimal cytoreduction. Baseline measurement is useful in evaluating the success of subsequent treatment.
CA 125 & Ovarian Cancer A pelvic mass suspicious for malignancy if: Ascites Nodularity/fixation Evidence of metastases A First degree relative with ovarian or brest cancer Elevated CA-125 level (normal < 35) Any abnormal in the postmenopausal A level > 200 U/ml in the premenopausal American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
Conclusion Peritoneal carcinomatosis occurs commonly with abdominopelvic tumors. FDG-PET/CT has the potential to improve detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis. But there are limits. In normal-sized ovarian carcinoma syndrome, peritoneal carcinomatosis is noted, despite of normal size of ovaries.
Conclusion Elevation serum CA-125 ( any abnormal in the postmenopausal, and > 200 U/ml in the premenopausal) can help in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
