Successful pregnancy in a patient with pseudomyxoma peritonei arising from ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma treated with cisplatin.

Abstract
A 24-year-old Japanese woman clinically showing pseudomyxoma peritonei arising from ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma FIGO stage Ic is reported. She received intra-abdominal administrations of cisplatin five times following left oophorectomy. After being free of disease for 6 months, she conceived and carried two pregnancies to successful deliveries at 34 and 37 weeks, respectively. At the Cesarean sections, there were no abnormal findings except for right ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. She has had no evidence of recurrence by the time of the 60-month postoperative examination.
