Calcified peritoneal implants have been attributed to various malignant and benign causes. We present an interesting case of a 32-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain, distension and vaginal bleeding. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed calcified peritoneal implants with a malignant ovarian mass. Histopathology showed an endodermal sinus tumor, a rare cause of calcified peritoneal carcinomatosis.

The uptake of Tc-99m-uptake of Tc-99m-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) on bone scintigraphy can be seen at sites other than bone in a varying number of benign and malignant conditions. Extraosseous metastatic calcifications can occur in ovarian papillary serous adenocarcinoma (PSAC). These extraosseous calcifications show Tc-99m-MDP uptake.

These lesions can be falsely interpreted as myomas or adnexal masses and thus gynecologists should be aware of the existence of CFTs.
