Primary peritoneal carcinoma (PPC) is a rare multicentric malignant tumour of the peritoneal cavity often morphologically indistinguishable from primary ovarian serous carcinoma and carcinoma of the fimbrial end of the fallopian tube. A correct differential diagnosis of PPC is highly challenging. The current case report describes the case of PPC in a 70 year old female presented with abdominal distension and elevated CA 125 levels. The case report highlights the importance of high index of suspicion, role of cytology and imaging techniques in the diagnosis of this rare entity.
