Serous psammocarcinoma, a rare variant of ovarian serous carcinoma, is characterized histologically by the pervasive presence of psammoma bodies. In this case, computed tomography scans showed extensively calcified pelvic and peritoneal masses. The pelvic mass appeared sandy on enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance images. These imaging results suggest that the presence of abundant psammomatous calcifications in primary and disseminated lesions may be a radiological marker of ovarian psammocarcinoma.

Psammocarcinoma is an uncommon subtype of low-grade serous carcinoma. It is characterized by the presence of extensive psammoma bodies and can have either an ovarian or peritoneal origin. To our knowledge fewer than 30 cases of primary peritoneal psammocarcinoma (PPP) have been reported in the English literature.

Psammocarcinoma (PsC) represents a rare form of low-grade serous tumor of the ovary or peritoneum. Although ovarian cancer generally has a poor prognosis in its late stages, PsC seems to have a more indolent course. We present a patient with a history of unspecific abdominal pain for more than a year, with sudden acute onset of severe inguinal pain.

When this tumor involves the extra-ovarian peritoneum significantly and the ovarian surface minimally or not at all, it is considered of peritoneal origin. PCa has a recurrent indolent clinical course.

Primary peritoneal psammocarcinoma is a rare type of serous carcinoma that is characterized by the massive formation of psammoma bodies and the invasion of adjacent organs. A 55-year-old female who previously underwent a hysterectomy presented to the emergency room with severe abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed an intra-abdominal calcific mass.

Psammocarcinoma is a rare form of serous carcinoma of the ovary or peritoneum characterized by extensive psammoma body formation seen on histology. A 49-year-old obese woman, gravida 1 para 1 with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, presented with a history of menorrhagia. She was diagnosed with both leiomyomata and simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia in the office.
