Abstract：Extraovarian primary peritoneal carcinoma (EOPPC) is an uncommon malignancy with many similarities to epithelial ovarian carcinoma in histological, clinical, and etiological aspects [1]. This phenomenon is explained by their common embryonal origin, in which both develop from the coelomic epithelium in the early embryological stage. Despite their similarities, the incidence of EOPPC is significantly lower than that of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (6.78 cases per million vs. 120.5 cases per million) [1].
