  • Title: [Peritoneal gliomatosis associated with a mature teratoma of the ovary].
    Author: Vital A, Rivel J, Verdaguer S, Discamps G, Olivot J, Vital C.
    Journal: Ann Pathol; 1985; 5(1):59-62. PubMed ID: 4015762.
    Abstract:
    Peritoneal or/and omental implants composed of mature glial tissue is a rare complication of ovarian teratomas. A few cases have been previously reported, and one more case is described. The glial nature of the implants is proved by the presence of glial fibrillary acidic protein. The previous reports of long survival indicate that occurrence of this peritoneal gliomatosis does not alter the prognosis and that therapy directed at the peritoneal implants of mature glia is not required for cure.
