Peritoneal Tuberculosis Mimicking Peritoneal Carcinomatosis
A 67-year-old male presented with fatigue, abdominal pain , and 30-pound weight loss over 3 months. Computerized tomography (CT) abdomen displayed ascites with thickening and enhancement of the peritoneum and mottled nodular appearing as soft tissue consistent with omental caking worrisome for peritoneal carcinomatosis. A paracentesis revealed white blood cell count of 2,500 with 98% lymphocyte...
متن کاملPeritoneal 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 elevated CA-125 level usually correlates with the peritoneal carcimatosis, but it is often found in...
متن کاملDiffuse peritoneal lymphomatosis simulating peritoneal carcinomatosis.
Burkitt's lymphoma is a form of Non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma. We report a case of Burkitt's lymphoma mimicking peritoneal carcinomatosis. We will discuss the imaging and clinical findings that differentiate between peritoneal carcinomatosis and Burkitt's lymphoma. A 26-year-old man presented with nonspecific abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea associated with significant amount of loss of we...
متن کاملLung cancer and peritoneal carcinomatosis
Lung cancer is currently one of the most common malignancies in the world and peritoneal involvement is rare in these types of tumors. Clinical manifestations of these metastases are also uncommon and include intestinal perforation and obstruction. The present study reviewed certain aspects of the complication of peritoneal involvement and illustrated it with four cases of patients that were di...
متن کاملMolecular biology of peritoneal carcinomatosis.
Peritoneal carcinomatosis can be thought of as a sequence of events that together form a peritoneal metastatic cascade. Presently our understanding of the molecular mediators that orchestrate this cascade is ill-understood. Initial tumour-mesothelial interaction appears to involve several adhesion molecules, including CD44, the Selectins, and various leukocyte associated antigens. The exact mol...
