  • Title: [Gliomatosis peritonei--a contribution to the biology of metastasising (author's transl)].
    Author: Heberling D, Rummel HH, Leppien G, Höffken H.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1980 Aug; 40(8):729-32. PubMed ID: 7409434.
    Abstract:
    A rare case of "gliomatosis peritonei" is reported in a 16 year-old girl suffering from an adult ovarian teratoma with high-differentiated glia structures without malignancy. The histological grading of the primary tumor and its metastasis in the omentum majus seems to be contradictory to the ovarian-tumor-staging recommended by FIGO. The biological dignity of high-differentiated gliametastasis of an adult teratoma evidently allows a minimum of treatment because of good prognosis of this disease.
