Primary peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma is a rare malignant epithelial tumor which was first described in 1959. Peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma arises from the peritoneal epithelium and originates from a single or multicentric focus of the peritoneum involving the peritoneum of the abdomen and pelvis. The involvement of retroperitoneal lymph nodes occurs in 64% of the patients diagnosed with this malignancy. So far, there is no report about inguinal lymph node metastasis in this disease.
