Abstract
Psammocarcinoma is a rare low-grade serous carcinoma resulting from an ovary or peritoneum. It is characterized by its richness in psammomatous calcospherites and an invasion of surrounding structures. Its prognosis is much more favourable than serous carcinoma of the ovaries and peritoneum. We report a new case of serous peritoneal psammocarcinoma in a 50-year-old patient who was treated with Anastrozol and LHRH analog hormone therapy for one year. The clinical and radiological response was complete. The surgery was carcinological and consisted of a total hysterectomy with adnexectomy and omentectomy.
