It has a poor prognosis with survival ranging from 12-18 months. Metastasis involves mainly transperitoneally, but lymphatics and hematological metastases have been also reported. It is a diagnosis of exclusion made after pathological report (1) Here is a case of a 40-year old female who presented with crampy abdominal pain that progressed into abdominal distention and was diagnosed with Serous Surface carcinoma stage III with high consideration of peritoneum as primary.
