Cureus. 2022 Jan 16;14(1):e21282. doi: 10.7759/cureus.21282. eCollection 2022 Jan.

Abstract

Peritoneal tumors are very uncommon and among them, primary peritoneal clear cell carcinoma is extremely rare and often misdiagnosed as others subtypes. There are only 13 cases of primary peritoneal clear cell carcinoma previously reported in the literature and there are no reports about cutaneous metastasis in this setting and only brain metastases were described to be associated with other primary peritoneal carcinoma subtypes. More information about this topic is needed and so we are presenting a new case of primary peritoneal clear cell carcinoma with cutaneous and cerebral metastases in a 34-year-old female.

Keywords: brain metastases; central nervous system metastasis; cerebral metastases; clear cell carcinoma; cutaneous metastases; endometriosis; ovarian cancer; peritoneum; primary peritoneal carcinoma; skin metastases.
